The initiative

From two major cities to students across India

In April 2026, Study in Europe brought European higher education to students across India through an integrated hybrid recruitment campaign.

FPP delivered the in-person Study in Europe fairs in New Delhi and Bangalore and the nationwide Study in Europe Virtual Fair, extending the initiative beyond the two host cities to prospective students throughout India.

The virtual event alone generated more than 5,000 student registrations and brought together 60 European universities, higher education institutions and national education organizations, making it the largest Study in Europe virtual fair ever held in India.

Together, the physical and virtual events created a national platform for Indian students to explore European universities, programs, scholarships and study destinations.
