The biggest of its kind in the Philippines, EHEF will allow Filipino students, academicians, researchers, and university officials to connect directly with world-class higher education institutions from across the European Union.
As the EU commemorates in 2022 the European Year of Youth, the fair’s theme “Youth for Excellence and Innovation” highlights the important role of young people in advancing education, science and research to build a better future — greener, more inclusive and digital.
The hybrid fair will feature more than 90 higher education institutions participating on-ground and online from Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Ireland, Spain, France, Italy, Hungary, Netherlands, Poland, Austria, Finland, and Sweden.
Useful, practical, and comprehensive information about the different mobility initiatives and distinctive higher education programs will be available at your fingertips.
“If you’re looking to pursue higher education that is a cut above the rest, then the EU is the best place for you," said Dr. Ana Isabel Sánchez Ruiz, European Union Chargé d'Affaires a.i. "Beyond countless spots and diverse cultures, the EU is widely recognized as a center of excellence and has established its educational preeminence with superior academic courses, mobility and scholarship opportunities, and cutting-edge technology.”
