The workshop was 2 days long and was held in November 2011, at the National Institute of Statistics in Bucharest, bringing together approximately 100 representatives from the higher education institutions involved in the project, as well as representatives from the central institutions in the area of education - The Ministry of Education, Research, Youth and Sports, The Romanian Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education, The National Authority for Qualifications. A number of 58 universities answered the invitation, including those that will send out the questionnaire during the extension year and haven’t participated in the project in the first phase of implementation. INCHER Kassel, the external partner of the project, also participated in the workshop, with Professor Ulrich Teichler - senior researcher at the centre, with an experience of more then 30 years in the field - as invited speaker.

The first part of the workshop was dedicated to the presentation of the field phase for the 2005 and 2009 cohorts and to the debate of the first descriptive results for the given cohorts, at national and European level. The second part had a highly practical nature, laying stress on improving the questionnaire and the methodology of implementation for the extension year, based on the experience from the 2005 and 2009 survey.
