This event has now taken place. An event report will be made available at a later date.

EuroPosgrados Chile is part of a wider joint European exhibition incorporating Belgium, Germany, Holland, Italy, Spain, Poland and Sweden. It is managed by a consortium compromising the British Council, DAAD and CampusFrance and this version of EuroPosgrados Chile has been jointly organised and supported by the Chilean Government.

The last EuroPosgrados fair in Chile which took place in October 2007 attracted over 7.000 visitors and was the most important education exhibition in the country. Fifty-two per cent of the visitors were interested in either Masters or PhD courses, while another fifteen per cent were looking into English language courses abroad.

Due to late financial approval, dates for this exhibition were only recently confirmed. In addition, in order to provide UK institutions the opportunity to promote their academic offers along with the opening of a new round of applications to for the Chilean Bicentennial Fund for Human Capital Development (an overall agenda to bring together all government funding for scholarships under one umbrella, with an investment of USD 6 billion), this year's exhibition has been moved forward from October to May. We apologise for the short notice being given.
