Portal for
European educational virtual fair

www.study-europe.net

The Delegation of the European Union in India in collaboration with EU Member States organised the European Higher Education Virtual Fair India and South Asia 2015 (EHEVF 2015). One of the major components of Virtual Fair was Online Portal.

Problems

Online Portal should solve following problems that considered to be typical for every fair:

  • Lack of necessary information about participants, universities; problem of information irrelevance & commonality
  • Non-organized information about available training programs, accommodation, expenses
  • Unability to filter promptly all information about user’s needs
  • Unability to maintain direct/ virtual communication between students and university representatives
  • Lack of user-friendly platform to manage the entire pre-collected information and display it to the user in convenient way

The main troubleshooting solution was to create the portal on the basis of CMS.

Challenge
