The European
Union continues to champion quality higher education as it launches once again
its Virtual European Higher Education 2021 in the Philippines from 1 to 2
October 2021.
The higher education fair provides access to
information and fosters partnerships between European and Filipino higher
education institutions to the benefit of students, academicians and
researchers.
With the theme
“Go Higher with EU”, the EU is once again opening its doors for a sustainable
partnership with local universities and higher education institutions.
As a center of
excellence in higher education, the EU aims at sharing best practices and
approaches from its many outstanding universities and higher education
institutions (EHEIs) with their Philippine counterparts.
This
partnership aims to enhance student and faculty mobility, research collaboration,
joint scientific activities, curricular enhancement, and policy formulation.
Opportunities
for mobility and research grants like Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, Marie
Sklodowska-Curie Actions, and Jean Monnet are open for students and educators
alike.
Aside from
country presentations and live chats with EHEI representatives, alumni, and
scholars, this year’s all online fair will feature structured webinars on
different areas of specialization.
Local officials
and educators will have the chance to request virtual meetings with their EU
counterparts to discuss potential linkages and cooperation. A virtual
networking event will also take place on 2 October at 7:30PM.

embraces the digital platform, it has also established partnership with regional
