The European Tertiary Education Register (ETER) is a database that provides a core set of data on Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) delivering degrees at the tertiary level in Europe. It provides descriptive information, such as legal status and foundation year, geographical information, students and graduates, staff, HEI expenditures, research activities, as well as a set of pre-defined indicators characterizing relevant dimensions of HEI activities, like the extent of subject specialization, international mobility, gender balance.
ETER is a project supported by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Education Youth, Sport and Culture and the Joint Research Centre for the years from 2013 to 2019. It is a joint undertaking of five partners - USI, Università della Svizzera Italiana, Lugano, Joanneum Research, Graz, NIFU – Nordic Institute for Studies in Innovation, Research and Education, Oslo, University of Rome La Sapienza and University of Pisa – in close collaboration with EUROSTAT, with a network of national experts and with the National Statistical Authorities of the participating countries
