12th International Education Fair, Russia
About the exhibition Book now
International Education Fair is the core event of the project "Marketing & Promotion of International Education in Russia".
There will be the twelfth edition of the Fair in 2007. We are proud to note that now ICIEP International Education Fair is the largest international education exhibition in Russia. In February 2006 the exhibition attracted a total of 126 exhibitors from 18 countries including several governmental bodies and/or their education promotion arms such as the British Council, the Spanish Embassy, Agency EduFrance, the Canadian Education Centres Network, etc.
The news about the exhibitions usually run on over 20-25 leading central and specialised newspapers and magazines, Radio stations, and Internet. Latest survey indicates that the education investment has become the favourite choice of many Russian parents. The students and their parents are looking forward to knowing more about opportunities of studying abroad. The international exhibitors that have participated at the International Education Fairs in Moscow have been pleased with the interest and enthusiasm of the Russian people to get first-hand information on alternatives of foreign studies.
There are many interesting and challenging things to see and to do. So do not miss the unique opportunity of joining us in the forthcoming event, more information on which you can find below.
