The project on diversity in European higher education is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and beings in January of 2022. More details on the project will be shared online soon.
The project will be realized by Prof. Benedetto Lepori (PI) with two PhD students (Pinar Eldemir and Ilaria Favlo) and one postdoctoral researcher (Dr Agata A. Lambrechts), based at USI, Lugano and supported by three distinguished scholars in higher education studies (prof. Enders, University of Bath), studies of public policies (prof. Capano, University of Bologna) and organizational studies (prof. Wezel, USI Lugano) and by a panel of international experts.
The European Tertiary Education Register is a database collecting information on Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Europe concerning their basic characteristics and geographical position, educational activities (data on students and graduates), personnel, finances and research activities. ETER is a European Commission initiative, which aims at providing data on Higher Education Institutions in Europe. More about the project on our website (due to be upgraded at the time of new round of data release by the end of March 2022) https://www.eter-project.com/#/info/about
