[email protected] WBAA Tracer Study 7
Tracer Study: Draft concept as developed by
Arber Hajrizaj and others
▪ Purpose:
− impact on educational policy in the region
− E.g. how can region profit from the knowledge mobile
students bring back? Towards brain circulation
▪ Target group:
− All potential members of WBAA (ex mobile students)
▪ Mode of surveying: Online
▪ Schedule:
− 2019 preparation
− 2020 implementation, reporting

Objectives of the research session
▪ Define topics and main research questions for
the survey (work in small groups)
▪ Fix a schedule for 2019
▪ Clarify division of labour:
Who is going to do what until when?
[email protected] WBAA Tracer Study 9
Potential topics for the survey
(Arber + IHS)
1. Mobility program impressions (skills gained, personal development, perceived value of
the experience/degree gained in the EU, perception of
Europe before and after their studies)
2. Comparison of people who stayed in the region
vs. those who left (returnees vs. non returnees, brain drain)
3. Assessment of impact of studying abroad on
professional and personal life
4. Comparison of study + research conditions in EU
and Western Balkans
[email protected] WBAA Tracer Study 10
Potential topics for the survey
(Arber + IHS)
5. Potential impact on education in the region (what
do alumni want to improve most in home
education)
6. Current situation of Alumni (education,
occupation, average salary, unemployment rate,
etc.)
7. Social live in the respective countries (family
composition and planning etc.)
8. Role of WBAA (expectations, feedback,
