Capacity Building for a European Graduate Tracking Initiative

The project aims at improving the capacities of EU and EEA countries to participate in a forthcoming European Graduate Tracking Initiative. European countries diverge strongly in their prerequisites to participate in such an initiative. At this background, the project serves to prepare a full roll out of a tracking study among Europe’s higher education graduates. The project is part of a larger action schedule of the European Commission to improve tracking graduates in Europe. This action schedule encompasses the EUROGRADUATE pilot survey and the European Commission expert group on graduate tracking which prepares recommendations for a European graduate tracking. Building on these activities, a consortium of Ecorys (Coordination, Belgium and UK), 3s (Austria) and DZHW have been commissioned by the EC to conduct the project.
