MANILA, Philippines - In its efforts to bring the European Higher Education Fair outside Manila, for the first time, the EU Delegation to the Philippines, the EU Member States Embassies and Cultural Institutes will be conducting a networking meeting between European higher education institutions and their counterparts on Nov. 11, 2016 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. at Cebu Normal University, Cebu City.
Students, faculty, academicians and researchers are also invited to attend the information sessions to be held from 1:30 to 4 p.m. from the institutions from Czech Republic, France, Spain and the Erasmus+ Programme.
This follows the European Higher Education Fair (EHEF) on November 10 at Fairmont Hotel, Makati.
“The European Higher Education Fair is not only a platform to showcase education offerings, distinctions and coverage, but a venue where we would want to engage in dialogue with our Filipino partners to exchange the techniques and best practices, as well as information on higher education opportunities," said Mattias Lentz, Minister Counsellor of the EU Delegation to the Philippines.
"Education, after all, is a two-way learning process, and only through these venues will we bridge cultural divide and have an appreciation between and among our peoples,” he added.
The networking meeting will bring together 10 EU higher learning institutions in Cebu, along with their Visayan counterparts under one roof. The participating universities are from the Czech Republic: the University of Pardubice, Technical University of Liberec, University of Hradec Kralove, and Masaryk University; from Spain—the Spanish Service for Internationalization of Education (SEPIE); from France, Universite Catholique de l’Quest, Network “N+1” Engineering Institutes, Le Cordon Bleu, and the IESEG School Management, and from Spain, Spanish Service for Internationalization of Education.
The meeting will explore the prospects of cooperation and partnerships between EU and universities from Visayan and Mindanao regions.
