INICIO 2026 to bring Ireland’s universities closer to Indian students

Ed-hoc International Overseas Education has announced INICIO 2026, a large-scale virtual Irish education expo aimed at connecting Indian students directly with Ireland’s leading universities. Scheduled to be held online on January 9 and 10, with The Hindu as media partner, the event is designed to provide students with authentic, first-hand insights into higher education opportunities in Ireland.

According to the organisers, INICIO 2026 will see participation from all major Irish universities, enabling students to interact with official university representatives through live sessions and discussions. The expo will showcase a wide range of academic pathways, including Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Business, Finance, Data Analytics, Engineering, Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Sciences, they added.

Organised by Ed-hoc International, the initiative reflects the organisation’s strong roots in Ireland. Founded in Ireland, with its head office located there, Ed-hoc International has built deep academic and institutional connections across Irish universities. This on-ground presence allows the organisation to provide students with accurate guidance that aligns closely with Irish education policies, university expectations and post-study opportunities, they said in a communication here on Sunday (January 4, 2025).

The organisers said INICIO was conceptualised to address the growing need among Indian students for reliable, verified information on studying abroad. By bringing multiple universities onto a single digital platform, the expo enables students to compare institutions, understand course structures, explore scholarships, and gain clarity on admissions, tuition fees and career outcomes, they added.

Along with academic guidance, the expo will cover key aspects such as student life in Ireland, accommodation planning, part-time work regulations, visa processes and long-term career pathways. The virtual format of INICIO allows students from across India to participate without travel or registration costs, making access to quality international education guidance more inclusive.
