In einem systematischen Review werten Nicolai Netz, Svenja Hampel und Valeria Aman 96 empirische Studien zum Einfluss internationaler Mobilität auf wissenschaftliche Karrieren aus. Die Analyse dieses noch jungen, aber in den letzten Jahren sehr dynamischen Forschungsfeldes zeigt, dass internationale Mobilität zum Ausbau wissenschaftlicher Netzwerke beiträgt. Zudem gibt es Hinweise, dass internationale Mobilität die wissenschaftliche Produktivität und Rezeption, das heißt die Anzahl der Publikationen und Zitationen, erhöhen kann. Auch den beruflichen Aufstieg kann internationale Mobilität begünstigen. Sie scheint jedoch ebenso mit durchschnittlich längeren befristeten Beschäftigungsverhältnissen einherzugehen.

Despite educational expansion and different educational reforms, we still observe social inequalities in the transition to higher education and in the choice of field of study. There is little literature investigating to what extent education policies can change these inequalities and who is primarily affected by this. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of cost-related changes on family background–specific inequalities in the transition to higher education and the choice of field of study.

Social engagement can be seen as a crucial part of the third mission of higher education organisations. One aspect of adopting social responsibility is supporting access to higher education for marginalised and underrepresented groups. This chapter describes the introduction and development of support structures for refugee students in Germany. It identifies the principal challenges for and influences on such structures and makes recommendations on how to support their continued existence.

The EUROSTUDENT project collects and analyses comparable data on the social dimension of European higher education. A wide range of topics related to students’ social and economic conditions are covered. The project strives to provide reliable and insightful cross-country comparisons. It does this through coupling a central coordination approach with a strong network of national partners in each participating country. In this way, an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the respective national frameworks in international comparison can be made. [...] Full abstract: https://doi.org/10.21249/DZHW:es7:1.0.0

The DZHW Panel Study of School Leavers 2015 is part of the School Leavers panel series of the DZHW, which records information on post-school educational and career paths of school leavers with a higher education entrance qualification. For every graduate year (cohort) a series of survey waves are carried out with each wave occurring at a different time before and after graduation, implemented as a combined cohort-panel-design. The Panel Study of School Leavers 2015 comprises the 20th cohort of the survey series with two survey waves. https://doi.org/10.21249/DZHW:gsl2015:1.0.1
