The EUROGRADUATE 2026 survey marks a new milestone in developing a comprehensive European graduate tracking mechanism. Building on the solid foundations of EUROGRADUATE 2022, this new round will deliver harmonised data across participating countries, providing key insights into graduate employability, job satisfaction, skills matching, as well as learning and labour mobility.

Crucially, the full integration of EUROGRADUATE into the European Higher Education Sector Observatory (EHESO) is now underway. This ensures that new EUROGRADUATE data will become part of the Observatory’s core infrastructure and will also be communicated through EHESO channels from 2027 onwards via EHESO newsletters, thematic reports, seminars, and webinars.

Through this integration, EUROGRADUATE will enable policymakers, researchers, institutions, and students to analyse outcomes across Europe and better understand how higher education supports skills development and career pathways.

EUROGRADUATE 2026 is a key initiative for strengthening graduate tracking. EUROGRADUATE provides on a regular basis comparable evidence on graduate outcomes and skills use at European level. It will thus play a pivotal role in informing evidence-based policies for a more competitive and inclusive European Education Area.
