MANILA – The European Union (EU) Delegation in Manila is staging the 2024 iteration of its European Higher Education Fair (EHEF) next week.

The fair will be held onsite from Nov. 22 to 23 at Robinsons Galleria in Ortigas, with its online editions to be held on the same dates and on Nov. 25 via Zoom and through the EHEF social media page.

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

“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,” EU Ambassador to the Philippines Massimo Santoro said.

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

Onsite seminars will be hosted by the EU Member States’ Embassies and Cultural Institutes.

Some of the sessions will feature in-depth information on higher education systems in Europe, student life in the continent, research grants and scholarship opportunities like Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions and Jean Monnet.

Registration and entrance to the fair are free of charge and interested participants may visit ehefphilippines.com for more information.
