Meet EducationUSA Europe Advisers Joining the Conference

The EducationUSA Europe team will host an EducationUSA Europe and Eurasia Regional Briefing and Networking Reception at EAIE 2026 in Glasgow, Scotland, on September 8, 2026, from approximately 11:00 am - 2:00 pm CET (local venue still TBD). This complimentary event is open to all U.S. higher education institutions already attending EAIE 2026 that are interested to learn more about the current U.S.–Europe partnership landscape along with potential opportunities for engagement. Please note that space for the Regional Briefing is limited, therefore we are currently collecting expressions of interest.

While final event details for the Regional Briefing are still being prepared, we invite you to complete the expression of interest form to indicate your interest in attending.

Institutions that submit an expression of interest will receive an email notification when invitations are released. Invitations will be extended on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to capacity. For any questions, please contact EUR@educationusa.org.

The U.S. Department of State’s EducationUSA network formally invites representatives of U.S. higher education institutions to participate in the EducationUSA Europe & Eurasia (EUR) Regional Forum, to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, from September 15–17, 2026.

EducationUSA Regional Forums provide valuable opportunities for U.S. higher education representatives to engage with EducationUSA professionals and discuss strategies to strengthen the recruitment and retention of international students on U.S. campuses. Participants will attend panels and sessions on a wide range of topics, led by higher education professionals, EducationUSA staff from across the region, and key stakeholders.

Registration for the EUR Regional Forum will open in the coming weeks. In the meantime, we encourage colleagues to save the date! For any questions, please contact EUR@educationusa.org. We hope to see you in Europe in September!

Directly following the EUR Regional Forum, the EducationUSA Western & Central Europe Fair Tour Fall 2026 will take place from September 19–29, with planned stops in Prague (Czech Republic), Utrecht (Netherlands), Luxembourg City (Luxembourg), Brussels (Belgium), London (United Kingdom), and Madrid and Barcelona (Spain).

• Registration for USA College Day London (Sept 25/26) WILL OPEN on April 15 via a separate registration platform managed by the center.

• Registration for the additional EducationUSA fair locations WILL OPEN on April 15 at 12pm Eastern Time via the EducationUSA Fair Portal (educationusafairs.org).

Accredited U.S. higher education institutions are strongly encouraged to participate in all fair locations, which strategically follow the EUR Regional Forum to maximize outreach and engagement across Western and Central Europe. This year, we are pleased to introduce a new stop in Barcelona, Spain—an emerging market with significant potential for student recruitment. Registration will remain open through August 31, 2026, or until capacity is reached, whichever occurs first. 

Fair Tour Registration Additional Details:

- Registration will be open from April 15 through August 31, 2026 via the EducationUSA Fair Portal.

- Registration includes up to two representatives per table. A second official representative or alumnus/alumna may attend at no additional cost; no more than two participants are permitted. Please provide participant names during registration or as soon as they are confirmed. Space availability may vary by event.
