The specific objectives of the call are:
- To develop tools and processes for a centralised collection and handling of data about what tertiary education graduates go on to do after graduation.
- To assess the feasibility of, and identify methods for, sampling and contacting graduate populations in Erasmus+ countries.
- Consult experts and relevant authorities from Erasmus+ countries on the content of survey questionnaires, and possible cooperation and coordination with existing graduate surveys at national level.
- To test the data collection methods and tools developed in the project to collect data from tertiary education graduates in a minimum of six European countries and draw lessons from for the full roll-out of the graduate study.
- In cooperation with the Commission to assess the willingness of relevant bodies in Erasmus+ countries to take part in a subsequent full roll-out of a European longitudinal graduate study.
- To develop detailed recommendations and proposals for the further implementation of data collection through a full roll-out of the European longitudinal graduate study.
