Eurograduate

The EUROGRADUATE project is a pilot survey of graduates in 17 European countries, which aims to lay the ground for a sustainable European- wide graduate survey. This is an exciting initiative to map the impact that experiences of European graduates during their time as students have had on their professional lives and their lives as European citizens. We want to know how happy the graduates are with their studies, how they sustained themselves, whether they travelled abroad and what they did after graduation. We will use the findings to compare different higher education systems in Europe and identify ways in which they can become better at preparing young people for the world of work and their role in society.

    Among others, the Eurograduate project has the following objectives:

    1. Develop tools and processes for the collection of comparable data in the participating countries
    2. Support the participating countries in all steps of preparing and conducting the data collection as well as in processing, handling, and analyzing the data.
    3. Coordinate the data collection in the participating countries
    4. Process the data and prepare an international micro-level data set covering all participating countries
    5. Analyse the data and prepare a comparative synthesis report on key results across all topics of the EUROGRADUATE survey
    6. Disseminate project results, publications, and outputs, including a scientific use file of the data
    7. Assess the project organisation, data collection, and data quality and derive recommendations and proposals for the further development of the European graduate survey
