The main field of research was the information policy of HEI / faculties regarding Erasmus and other exchange programs and learning agreements.
The research was carried out as a qualitative interview with the staff of the International Relations Office of the HEI / faculty.

More than 100 HEI / faculties and 2.400 students participated in the research.

The whole PRIME research was completed entirely by student volunteers – starting from the interviews with the IROs to analysing the data and organising local and final dissemination conferences.
