Strengthening Graduate Tracking in Romania: Eurograduate 2026 Implementation

ongoing

Enhancing Graduate Tracking in Romania: Gathering Qualitative and European-level Compatible Data (euROgrad-26) is a project proposed by the Ministry of Education (MoE) and UEFISCDI to implement the Eurograduate 2026 survey in Romania. The project will run from 2025 to 2027, targeting the 2020/2021 (T+5) and 2024/2025 (T+1) graduate cohorts at EQF levels 6 and 7. Building on the success of Eurograduate 2022, it aims to strengthen Romania's capacity to track graduates through the integration of administrative data and alignment with EU standards. The project aims to improve data quality and comparability, gain broader insights into personal and social outcomes of graduates, and foster cooperation between national authorities, higher education institutions and stakeholders. Divided into four work packages - Management, Preparation, Implementation and Dissemination - the initiative supports evidence-based policy making and strengthens Romania's role in EU efforts on graduate tracking.
