EHEF 2024 kicks off, invites Filipinos to pursue higher education in Europe

To promote student mobility and the pursuit of academic excellence, the Delegation of the European Union to the Philippines and the European Union Member States’ Embassies are organising once again, the European Higher Education Fair (EHEF) 2024.

The Fair will be held onsite on November 22 and 23, 2024, at Robinsons Galleria, Ortigas, and its online editions will be held on November 25, 2024, via Zoom online sessions and through the European Higher Education Fair’s Facebook Page at European Union in the Philippines.

The biggest and longest-running education fair in the country, the EHEF offers a unique opportunity for Filipino students, professionals, academe, researchers, and university officials to engage directly with some of the top higher education institutions from the EU.

EU Ambassador Massimo Santoro said, “The European Higher Education Fair reflects the EU’s commitment to providing an immersive platform to explore a diverse array of opportunities, resources, and insights for Filipino students interested in pursuing their higher education in the European Union.”

EHEF 2024 will feature 77 higher education institutions and diplomatic missions participating on-ground and online from Belgium, The Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Spain, France, Italy, Hungary, The Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Finland, Sweden and the European Union.

On-site seminars will be hosted by the EU Member States’ Embassies and Cultural Institutes. These engaging sessions will provide in-depth information on higher education systems, “student life” in the EU, research grants, and scholarship opportunities like Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, and Jean Monnet, open for students and educators alike.

Online sessions will be held on 22, 23, and 25 November 2024.
