This year's event brings together nearly 70 universities and educational institutions from 18 European Union member countries including France, Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Romania, Finland, Austria, Latvia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Ireland, Poland, Spain, Hungary and Bulgaria, providing comprehensive information on training programs, scholarships and research opportunities in many fields.

In addition to the Exhibition area with information on training programs, scholarships and research opportunities, thematic discussions and sharing sessions by alumni will give attendees a practical perspective on their journey of studying and developing in Europe, where knowledge is inspired by openness, diversity and creativity.

Within the framework of the European Education Week, the Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe Festival events continue to be important highlights, connecting universities and educational institutions from Vietnam and Europe, promoting research cooperation, innovation and co-creation of knowledge.

This year, for the first time, these two key programs are organized together within the framework of the Week, creating a comprehensive ecosystem for lecturers, managers and educational institutions to meet, build partnerships and jointly create solutions for the future.

Sharing about the significance of the European Education Week 2025, EU Ambassador to Vietnam Julien Guerrier said: “Education is the foundation of all sustainable development. In a rapidly changing world , equipping young people with the skills to adapt and innovate is key to the future. I believe that the European Education Week not only provides learning opportunities, but also opens bridges of connection and cooperation between Vietnam and Europe – two partners who are together transforming knowledge into action, and action into change.”

European Education Week 2025 is organized within the framework of the campaign “Plug in to Evolution” - a key public diplomacy and communications initiative, part of the global activities of the European Union's “Global Gateways” Strategy.

The campaign aims to promote skills development, green transformation and sustainable cooperation through a series of innovative activities targeting the young generation.

European Education Week is therefore not only a bridge between Vietnamese students and European universities, but also a part of the journey to spread the spirit of learning, creativity and building the future together.

Vietnam is an important partner of the European Union in the field of education, one of the top priorities in the Global Gateway Strategy. Currently, 40,000 students have chosen EU member states, accounting for nearly 30% of the total number of Vietnamese students studying abroad.

The partnership between the European Union and Vietnam in the field of higher education has developed strongly. Through the Erasmus+ program, thousands of Vietnamese students and lecturers have had the opportunity to experience the learning, research and cultural exchange environment in Europe.

Last year, more than 100 universities from Vietnam and Europe gathered in Hanoi to discuss cooperation in research, innovation and teaching. Currently, there are more than 430 joint training programs with international universities across Vietnam, of which half are with partners from Europe.
