The EHEVF 2016 consists of an online portal www.study-europe.net which hosts web-pages of more than 180 institutions and two series of webinars to be organized in July and September 2016 wherein participating institutions are able to address Indian students and answer questions in real time. The July series of webinars will have subject sessions on popular courses sought by Indian / international students in European universities such as Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology, Business management and marketing / MBA and medicine and health. Each subject webinar session comprises of a two-hour session with four slots during which different European universities will address the students about the opportunities they offer to international students. The student will thus be able to talk to different European universities in real time, from the comfort of his or her home or hostel and without spending any money whatsoever.
