Looking to connect with motivated students exploring study options abroad? Join us in 2026 for the 9th edition of the International Education Fairs Poland. Meet thousands of prospective students in Warsaw, Krakow, and Gdansk: three of the country’s biggest and most vibrant student centers. With over 10,000 students expected and 60 international institutions already on board, this is a great opportunity to grow your reach in one of Europe’s most promising and dynamic student markets.
Why take part in the International Education Fairs Poland?
Participating in the International Education Fairs in Poland offers universities a prime opportunity to expand their international student enrollment by connecting directly with students actively seeking global study opportunities. With Poland’s growing economy and a population of approximately 39 million, there is increasing demand for educational programs that help Polish students develop their skills.
Every year, more students are graduating from school and exploring alternatives to the Polish education system, making international institutions an attractive option. Polish parents are increasingly willing to invest in their children’s education, recognizing the long-term value it brings in securing places at top-tier higher education institutions.
The fairs are an ideal platform to reach a motivated audience, including high school graduates, university applicants, parents, young professionals, and local educators. Additionally, many Polish students are eager to enhance their language skills abroad, and education fairs are the perfect setting to promote language programs and other preparatory courses for study abroad.
The Polish study abroad fairs, some of the largest in Eastern Europe, provide invaluable networking and enrollment opportunities for institutions seeking to grow their presence in this fast-developing market.
