Implementation and further development of the European Tertiary Education Register (ETER)

cover
Mise en œuvre et développement du régistre européen de l’enseignement supérieur (ETER) Résumé Court
This report presents the current status of the European Tertiary Education Register (ETER), as well as recommendations for its future development. As an outcome of this work, the ETER database is now consolidated in terms of methodology and data content, but also of a technical infrastructure, which allows an efficient management of the data and allows users to access the data through a variety of options (direct download, automated download, API access). As documented in this report, ETER is establishing itself as the reference dataset for European higher education and is being widely used both for policy analysis and for scholarly purposes. The final recommendations of this report deal with further consolidating and extending the system and better embedding it in a broader landscape of higher education databases at the international level. The report advises that, in the long term, ETER should be established as a lasting activity run by the European Commission with the support of EUROSTAT and the participation of member states. To this aim, future ETER activities should focus to a stronger extent on establishing institutional collaborations with statistical data providers, Commission services and users, while maintaining and further developing the data collection, communication and dissemination activities.
