Organised during the competition week, the Networking Forum gives candidates who are not selected for the finals an opportunity to be seen by schools and company directors from around the world.
Following an audition class, interviews are organised with directors of Prix de Lausanne partner schools and companies wishing to recruit one or more candidates. Interviews with finalists who do not receive a prize are also arranged after the award ceremony.

In 2015, Forty-one Prix de Lausanne partner schools and companies watched the audition class. During the three hundred odd interviews that followed, forty-five candidates received on average two or more offers, most of which were scholarships.
We are delighted to announce that eighteen young dancers confirmed they have taken up an offer to study or work abroad in a new institution thanks to the Networking Forum.
