For the next two years the European Association of International Education Conference (EAIE) will be coming to the UK. In 2015, the event will take place in Glasgow and in 2016 will come to Liverpool. The conference, which boasts Europe’s largest study abroad fair, will provide a big opportunity for us to demonstrate the strength and variety of the UK higher education offer.
As the national agency for higher education, British Council will be building on its presence at this year’s conference by hosting a ‘UK Pavilion, to promote ‘Study in the UK’ opportunities and enable HEIs to be represented in a larger space for a reduced cost.
The Education UK Pavilion will demonstrate clearly the uniqueness, strength and variety of the UK higher education offer. We will be offering two options:
- Your own space for the duration of the conference, which would be labelled with your institution’s branding and would be for your use only.
- A shared space with another institution, which would be co-branded and used by both institutions (the onus would be on both parties to liaise about timings in advance).
In addition, the British Council representatives on the Education UK Pavilion would be able to direct visitors to institutions and respond to any queries/pass on messages through a message board facility. Depending on your interest we may include a networking event at the Education UK Pavilion.
Working closely with ‘Study in Scotland’ and ‘Universities Wales’ we will coordinate an exhibition space which represents a cohesive higher education offer from the UK’.
Space is limited and will be allocated on a ‘first come first served’ basis.
