For the second year since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the European Union Delegation to the Philippines, in collaboration with the EU member states embassies, education services and institutes, will hold the Virtual European Higher Education Fair (EHEF) 2021 from October 1 to 2.
By embracing the digital transformation, the event is made more accessible to Filipino students, academicians, researchers and university officials from across the country.
Working under this year’s theme “Go Higher with EU”, the fair puts the spotlight on the EU as Filipino youth’s gateway to excellence in higher education.
The EU is known as one of the world’s ultimate hubs for cross-fertilization of ideas, cutting-edge technology and innovation coming from its many outstanding universities and higher education institutions.
This year’s fair also provides the best platform to link members of the academe from the Philippines to the best higher education institutions from the European Union. It will feature webinars on specialized courses and programs, research and mobility opportunities.
During the event, country presentations and live chats with EHEI representatives, alumni, and scholars will be made available to provide quick and easy information about the higher education systems in the EU.
Virtual meeting rooms will be set up for Philippine higher education institutions and their EU counterparts.
In addition to this year’s virtual platform, EHEF 2021 also goes regional for the second time and in real-time.
Selected regional partner institutions for this year include Wesleyan University (Luzon), Silliman University (Visayas), and Xavier University –Ateneo de Cagayan (Mindanao), which will host clustered presentations for students and other interested members of the academe. University partners for this year are the following: Ateneo de Manila University’s European Studies Programme, University of the Cordilleras, Lyceum of the Philippines University - Batangas, Trinity University of Asia, Visayas State University, Jose Rizal Memorial State University and Mindanao State University’s (Marawi) College of Public Affairs. Campus Erasmus and the Association of Christian Schools, Colleges and Universities are likewise supporting the EU education fair.
