A celebratory opening ceremony at Robinsons Manila marked the start of the European Higher Education Fair.

Filipino students, researchers and academicians can explore a world of opportunities at the European Higher Education Fair (EHEF) 2025, opening doors to the EU’s top learning and research institutions. 

The opening ceremony will feature a momentous gesture, bringing together the European Union Ambassador and representatives of its EU Member States to showcase their diverse fields of expertise and collectively form an image symbolising the true essence of the fair’s theme “Pathways to Excellence.” 

Inspiring Journeys of Academic Growth and Excellence of Filipinos in the EU

From the stage of the European Higher Education Fair (EHEF) to success stories across the EU, the journey continues this year. EHEF celebrates not just opportunities, but also the inspiring achievements of Filipino students who once walked the halls of the fair. Now scholars, professionals, and changemakers in various fields, these Goodwill Ambassadors stand as living proof of how education can open doors to global excellence, cross-cultural growth, and lifelong learning impact. 

“The EHEF is more than a fair; it’s a bridge and a pathway that connects dreams to possibilities, and talent to opportunities waiting in the EU,” said EU Ambassador H.E. Massimo Santoro.
