The European Higher Education Virtual Fair 2021 will provide Indian students the opportunity to interact with world-class institutions available in Europe and help with practical steps on how to get admission into one of these.
According to H.E. Ugo Astuto, ambassador of the European Union, choosing the country, university and the course for pursuing higher education is a key decision. The EHEVF brings together the EU, its member States, universities and education organisations on one platform, making it easier for students to gain insights into the European higher education landscape and to take an informed decision. The mobility of students is a critical aspect of people-to-people contacts, strengthening connectivity between the EU and India through academic and cultural exchanges.
Virtual Fair: The face-to-face with European Universities will be packed with activities, including webinars on specialised courses and programs, country presentations and live chats with representatives, alumni and scholars from participating schools and universities.
Students will be able to interact with European universities through webinars, live chats, video calls and learn about higher education opportunities offered by the participating institutes. Aspiring students logging in to the virtual fair would receive advice and authentic information directly from university staff.
