Scientific Description
The target activity of the NEPS is to collect longitudinal data on the development of competencies, educational processes, educational decisions, and returns to education in formal, nonformal, and informal contexts throughout the life span and to make them available to the scientific community.The NEPS offers three modes of access to the research data: download from the NEPS website, modern remote-access technology (RemoteNEPS), and on-site access. For all three modes of data access it is necessary to sign the relevant data use agreements. From August 2011 to January 2019, over 2,000 researchers from 28 countries used NEPS data.
