The 12th UniGR-CBS Greater Region Forum will be held on 9 July 2026, at the premises of the University of Luxembourg, Belval Campus. The topic of the Forum is "Qualifications in a cross-border context: shortages, recognition and co-construction".

The Forum will address the question of qualifications, particularly in cross-border regions. The forum will open with an overview of the recognition of qualifications at the European level. This will be followed by a panel of experts from Switzerland, Luxembourg, and the Greater Region, who will present a comparative analysis of qualification systems, their practical use, and the challenges encountered. The panel will also identify key obstacles, current challenges, and potential levers for action. Finally, a roundtable discussion on possible responses to labour shortages in cross-border contexts will bring together scientific, institutional, and professional expertise.

The event is organised in collaboration with the research group LABOR SwissLux – Labor across Borders.
