O estudo em referência tem como objetivo nuclear produzir informação em dois níveis complementares:- No plano europeu, o projeto EUROSTUDENT, toma por base uma lista alargada de indicadores harmonizados e comparáveis. Este conjunto de indicadores, tendo o seu foco principal nas condições de vida dos estudantes, inclui temas tão diversos como a transição e acesso ao ensino superior; tipos e modalidades de estudo; origens sociais; residência/alojamento; despesas; rendimentos; emprego e quotidiano (distribuição de tempos); mobilidade e internacionalização; e avaliação da qualidade do programa de estudos e planos para o futuro. Nesta edição (EVIII), introduziram-se módulos respeitantes a questões suplementares, nomeadamente sobre as consequências da pandemia (provocada pela Covid19), bem estar e saúde mental e experiências de discriminação.- No plano nacional, produzir informação, em termos gerais, sobre as condições socioeconómicas dos estudantes portugueses do ensino superior (com a diversidade da temática apresentada anteriormente). Importa sublinhar que uma parte da equipa proponente da presente proposta foi responsável pela realização do INQUÉRITO SOCIOECONÓMICO AOS ESTUDANTES DO ENSINO SUPERIOR EM PORTUGAL, em 4 rounds anteriores: no Projeto EUROSTUDENT (EII) 2005, EUROSTUDENT (EIII) 2008, EUROSTUDENT (VI) 2018, EUROSTUDENT VII, 2021.
