Several prestigious universities participated in this event, including Universitas Aisyiyah Yogyakarta, Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD), Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), Universitas Indonesia (UI), Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB), and Universitas Bengkulu (UNIB). The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) of Universitas Bengkulu (UNIB) also took part in the EduFair, presenting four leading study programs: Mathematics, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry.

This event was aimed at 12th-grade students from high schools (SMA) and vocational schools (SMK) across Bengkulu City who were preparing to continue their education at the university level. The participants showed great enthusiasm as they explored each university booth and engaged directly with university representatives to gain deeper insights into the study programs offered.
