The European Education Week is organized annually by the Delegation of the European Union and the Embassies of EU Member States in Vietnam. This year's program takes place from 19-23 October 2024, including two main events: European Education Fair and Erasmus+ Vietnam Day.

The European Education Fair 2024 is the first time Vietnam has welcomed the direct participation of nearly 60 universities from EU countries, providing a lot of information and attractive scholarship opportunities in various majors and levels. In addition, the consulting booths of the EU Alumni Network, the EU Delegation, the Embassies and organizations of 18 EU member states in Vietnam including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, and EU education programs will share diverse perspectives on the experience of living in Europe.

In addition, for the first time, the European Education Fair organized a discussion session with the participation of European businesses in Vietnam, providing useful information on developing necessary skills and career opportunities at businesses for European students when they return to Vietnam. All of this creates an event that cannot be missed for any student interested in studying abroad.

Within the framework of European Education Week 2024, the first-ever Erasmus+ Vietnam Day event will share valuable information about the Erasmus+ programme for universities, organizations and education managers, while creating opportunities for Vietnamese and European universities to expand connections, share professional experiences in cooperation projects, and establish new partnerships.

EU Ambassador to Vietnam Julien Guerrier shared: “The cooperation between the EU and Vietnam is extremely strong and has become one of the deepest and most comprehensive in the region. The world is facing huge challenges such as climate change, security issues, and must keep up with new technologies, requiring highly skilled and qualified managers, scientists and professionals. This can be achieved through study abroad, which is what a study abroad experience in Europe can bring.”

“Studying in Europe not only helps international students bring back valuable knowledge accumulated in the classroom to Vietnam, but also has a variety of majors to choose from, affordable costs, and more importantly, personal experiences of culture and society. What you bring back home is your own Europe, which is the accumulation of life experiences, history and innovation that has truly helped you broaden your mind. I believe that, with meetings with representatives of nearly 60 EU universities and EU member states at the European Education Week 2024, students will have a comprehensive view of what studying in Europe can bring and be inspired for their study abroad journey,” Ambassador Julien Guerrier added.

Vietnam is a key partner of the European Union in the field of education, one of the main focuses of the Global Gateway Campaign. The sustainable bilateral cooperation has led to many significant achievements over the years. Vietnam is the largest beneficiary in Asia from the Higher Education Capacity Building Programme with a total budget of over 66 million EURO. From 2015 to 2023, more than 3,400 Vietnamese students and education staff have had the opportunity to participate in short-term exchange programmes in Europe under the Erasmus+ programme. The number of Vietnamese students receiving the EU's prestigious Erasmus Mundus scholarships is also in the top 20 worldwide.
