EuroSkills Herning 2025

Welcome to Herning in September 2025
Denmark is hosting EuroSkills Herning 2025 – the official European Championship for young skilled professionals. From 9 to 13 September 2025, MCH Messecenter Herning, one of Scandinavia’s largest exhibition centres, will be transformed into the epicentre of 38 professional competitions, where up to 600 energetic and talented young skill-athletes from across Europe will compete for European Championship medals.

Programme and visitor experience
EuroSkills kicks off with an atmospheric Opening Ceremony on 9 September in Jyske Bank Boxen and concludes with a Closing Ceremony including the medal presentation on 13 September.

The competitions and the entire exhibition area are open to the public free of charge from 10 to 12 September, covering everything from professional contests to inspiration in the “Try‑a‑Skill” zones, where visitors can try some of the challenges the young participants face at EuroSkills Herning 2025.

Under the motto "Skilled for a Greener Future", special emphasis is placed this year on the vital role of skilled professionals in the Green Transition. This includes everything from renewable energy technicians to experts in sustainable construction – EuroSkills demonstrates how vocational education is key to tackling the technological and environmental challenges of tomorrow.
