The International Education Fair in Russia is the core event of the project "Marketing & Promotion of International Education in Russia". This will be the 17th edition of the student fair and will take place in February 2010. The International Education Fair has become the largest international education exhibition in Russia providing students with access to global study opportunities.

In February 2009, the exhibition attracted a total of 176 exhibitors (by adding the number of exhibitors from the 3 fairs) from 16 countries including several governmental bodies and/or their education promotion arms such as the Spanish Embassy, Agency CampusFrance, the Canadian Education Centres Network, German Academic Exchange Service - DAAD, etc. The news about the exhibitions usually runs on over 20-25 leading central and specialised newspapers and magazines, Radio stations, and Internet. Latest survey indicates that education investment has become the favourite choice of many Russian parents. The students and their parents are looking forward to knowing more about opportunities to 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.
