We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Fourth IESF. The aim of this event is to bring together educational institutions and prospective students. However, we also seek to provide institutions with the opportunity to present their programs to the general public by holding presentations.

In the past years, Kosova has attracted the attention of many education providers from all over the world. This is not a coincidence but rather a result of the potential and demand of our youth to access education abroad. According to the Ministry of Education Science and Technology there are over 200 000 students attending secondary education this year. The interest for education abroad has been on the rise. More than ever before, young people and adults see education and knowledge as a foundation for a successful career. Consequently, the demand for information is overwhelming.

IESF is the most important event for studying abroad in Kosova. It is the ideal place in which you can foster strong professional ties and enjoy networking in a less formal environment.

In previous fairs participants from around the world, represented destinations such as Germany, France, UK, USA, Hungary, Albania, Greece, Macedonia, Turkey and others. Among exhibitors there were Kosova Academic Services, Espace Culturel Français, Campus France, British Council, EducationUSA, DAAD, OSI Network Scholarship Program, Tempus, Lux-Development, B&S Europe/European Agency for Reconstruction, WUS-Austria, local embassies and cultural centre representatives, private and public universities.

This year the fair will take place at Pallati i Rinisë dhe Sporteve (Youth and Sports Palace), from 16-17 October, 2009.
