Education in Europe: How Not to Make a Mistake When Choosing a University

Choosing a university in Europe is not just about rankings or the country. It’s about understanding which skills will be in demand in 5–10 years, how the education system works, and which criteria truly matter when evaluating a university.

At the meeting, we will discuss:

• which skills and professions will be relevant over the next 5–10 years
• the key characteristics of the European education model
• what to pay attention to when choosing a university: programs, environment, teaching approach, and career prospects

Speakers:

Svetlana Velikanova — Founder and CEO of Harbour.Space Institute of Technology. She has professional experience in international investment banks including Citibank, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs.

Alexander Grigoriev — Education consultant with experience as an academic director and strategy director at senior schools and creative universities in Russia, Europe, and Asia.

The event will be useful for parents who want to take a thoughtful approach to choosing education and avoid common mistakes when applying to European universities.
