In order to clarify the participating countries and finalise the concept for the next round, an open workshop will be held in The Hague. Therefore the EUROSTUDENT coordinators would like to welcome national representatives of the European Higher Education Area to this workshop on data issues concerning individual socio-economic aspects of student life in European higher education. The workshop will focus on data necessary for a contribution to EUROSTUDENT IV, on issues of data availability and sources of data.
