Participation in Eurograduate Survey 2026 - Austria

ongoing

The project Eurograduate 2026 follows the Erasmus+ call “ERASMUS-EDU-2024-GRADU-TRACKING-IBA”. Austria was invited to participate after expressing interest, and participating in the pilot project and the roll-out in 2022 that preceded the call. The Federal Ministry of Education, Science, and Research, represented by Maria Keplinger, will act as coordinator, Helga Posset and Anna Rechberger will also be part of the core project team. Austria will apply for Option 3, which includes Collection of Essential information (Module A) and Recommended information (Module B). The respective survey to complete the two models will be conducted by Statistics Austria (“in-house” subcontractor), who will also compile the administrative data (mainly for plausibility checks, weighting, and sampling). The project will be accompanied by an advisory board, with representatives from the four HE sectors (i.e. public and private universities, universities of applied sciences and university colleges of teacher education) and, the Austrian students union as well as stakeholders from the labour market (e.g. Austrian labour market service, Chamber of commerce, Chamber of labour). The project duration is 36 months, starting from the date of signing the grant agreement.
