How will these new data be used in EHESO?
-
In a first instance, these microdata are immediately made available in the microdata section of the EHESO platform.
-
As a next step, the European Higher Education Sector Scoreboard will be updated with these new data (time series) and some additional indicators will be made available.
-
These most up-to-date institutional microdata sources will be used for the Higher Education Benchmarking Tool that will be made available in the coming months.
What are the sources for EHESO microdata?
-
Some data are self-collected, e.g. data on institutional characteristics (basic descriptors like name, acronym, foundation year or website and geographical data like city, postcode, coordinates, NUTS region) and data coming from EHESO institutional and student surveys.
-
A lot of data comes from official education statistics, e.g. financial data (revenues and expenditures), personnel, students and graduates (including breakdowns on gender, citizenship, mobility, age group, academic/non-academic).
-
Finally, a share of EHESO microdata comes from external data sources such as Erasmus+ mobility data, EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation projects and EQAR quality assurance programmes, among other sources.
