MANILA – The Delegation of the European Union to the Philippines, together with the EU Member States’ Embassies and Cultural Institutes, and in collaboration with the Commission on Higher Education, is delighted to bring back the European Higher Education Fair with the theme “Quality. Mobility. Innovation.”
Twenty-seven European Higher Education Institutions from 12 European Union Member States will be participating in the Fair on 7 November from 12:30 to 6:00 p.m. at Dusit Thani Hotel. Admission to the Fair is free. Students, academicians, researchers and faculty may either pre-register at http://www.EHEFPhilippines.org or walk in during the Fair proper at the hotel venue.
Once again the main goal of the Fair is to give Filipino students the opportunity to find out the endless opportunities offered by European universities and to get immediate and direct answers from their representatives who have travelled all the way from Europe.
Recognizing that boosting one’s language proficiency could be vital ahead when studying abroad, the five biggest EU Cultural Institutes— Goethe-Institut Philippinen, Alliance Française de Manille, Instituto Cervantes de Manila, Istituto Dante Alighieri and the Philippine Italian Association—will also have their booths this year.
Mr. Mattias Lentz, Chargé d’Affaires a.i. of the EU Delegation to the Philippines said: “The European Higher Education Fair 2015 is an opportunity for Filipinos to pursue their higher education programmes in the European Union which is one of the best higher education destinations in the world today. The European Union can offer the excellent mix of diversity and quality of higher education institutions as it tries to harmonize the wisdom of the past and the charm and cutting-edge technology of today’s seats of learning.”
Opening the exhibit are the European ambassadors, education and cultural counsellors to the Philippines alongside officials from the Philippine higher education institutions. Filipino Erasmus Mundus alumni led by Ms. Kate Ramil, Country Representative of the Erasmus Mundus Association – Philippines and several other institutions will also be present during the Fair.
