Eindhoven, 8 January 2020 – Studyportals is proud to announce that it has been awarded the tender Advanced Techs Academic Offer analysis (AdTeAc) by the Directorate Growth and Innovation of the Joint Research Centre (JRC Seville) of the European Commission.

The three-year contract is part of the PREDICT project and includes the delivery of data and analyses on the education offer within technological domains of high importance to the European Commission, such as Artificial Intelligence, High Performance Computing, Cybersecurity and Data Science.

More specifically, as part of the project, Studyportals will produce suitable and comparable data on the education offer at the bachelor and master level and short training within the EU28 Member states, the United States, Canada and Australia which will cover academic years 2015/16 until 2021/22.

For the analysis, Studyportals will rely on its subsidiary, the Studyportals Analytics & Consulting Team (ACT) which will analyse the data on the company’s 200,000 English-taught programmes, encompassing over 3,750 educational institutions globally to better understand how the supply of programmes in these specific technological domains has been developing, as well as the student profiles showing a strong interest in these programmes. Similar data has already been used in the JRC technical report ‘Academic offer and demand for advanced profiles in the EU‘, which was published earlier in 2019.

Joran van Aart, COO of Studyportals noted:

‘We are very pleased that the European Commission has placed its trust in Studyportals’ data. This is a fantastic achievement for our subsidiary, Studyportals ACT, and it underlines once more that our mission to make study choice transparent globally has created an incredibly valuable pool of data on the supply and demand of international education globally, which is not only valuable to students but also for policy makers and researchers.’
