Item Overview

Slovenia joined the second phase of the Eurograduate initiative in 2022. The results were presented during the project final conference on 22 April 2024. Different stakeholders' views were confronted on the need for monitoring graduate employability with experts in the field, university representatives, line ministries, national authorities for quality in higher education and other relevant publics. The discussion brought fruitful synergies.

Future Network activities and meetings

The European Commission recently adopted the 2024 European Degree package which aims to increase employability and skills relevance, the adaptability and visibility of higher education systems, as well as drive strategic cooperation and global competitiveness in the EU. Graduate tracking will play a role in this package, as criteria for the European Degree will include a graduate tracking commitment and the European Commission plans to further support the implementation of the European graduate tracking system through the future Council recommendation on a European Quality Assurance and Recognition System in higher education.

On 4 October 2023, representatives of the participating EUROGRADUATE 2022 countries and the EUROGRADUATE consortium will meet in Hanover, Germany. The project meeting will be followed by the international conference ‘The future of higher education and science – A turn of times?’ (October 5-6) taking place in Hanover as well. A session at this conference will be dedicated to EUROGRADUATE 2022, offering an opportunity to discuss research ideas and publications using EUROGRADUATE data.
