About The Fair

Concept

As a result of East-European countries integration in the European Union and the advantages attached to it, the E.U. has started to enjoy a growing popularity among students and their parents, replacing the U.S. as the most desirable destination for undergraduate and postgraduate studies abroad. Romanian students are no longer classified as “overseas students” in terms of tuition fees status. Now that European education is becoming affordable for a growing number of people in the region, a special effort is needed to inform potential applicants that they could apply and be accepted to even the most selective European universities, public highschools and boarding schools.
 

Aims

The EEF - European Education Fair has three major aims:

  1. to provide prestigious European universities, public high-schools and boarding schools with a forum at which they could present their high quality education programmes to the public in Eastern Europe;
  2. to give potential applicants the opportunity to meet face-to-face with representatives of reputable European educational institutions and discuss their eligibility as well as the strengths and weaknesses of their applications;
  3. to provide networking opportunities for the representatives of European universities and their East-European counterparts.
