Abstract	The present study, Statistics on Student Mobility in Europe (SSME), was commissioned by the European Parliament to develop recommendations on how to overcome the shortcomings of the European mobility statistics described in prior studies. Its aim is to contribute to the improvement of the European information base on student mobility by laying the foundation for a common reporting system of the EU Member States. In its specification of the SSME project, the European Parliament stressed its interest in updating the methods used for collecting data on student mobility in the EU Member States. This study, therefore, attempts to find common ground for a new type of standardisation of statistical information that would allow to compile reliable and internationally comparable, but at the same time more comprehensive student mobility statistics. To address existing information gaps in a strategic way, new criteria and definitions for recording mobile students at European level must be identified and discussed. As an introduction, the [first] chapter elucidates the challenges which the collection of student mobility data in Europe currently is confronted with. After that, the basic conditions for the improvement of European student mobility statistics established in the guidelines for the SSME study are summarised. Then, the findings of a questionnaire-based survey of EU Member States on the availability of additional mobility data are presented. On the basis of the information obtained from this survey, a data request can be developed which tries to tap hitherto largely disregarded national data for European mobility statistics. The analysis of the exemplary data sets which were provided by nine EU authorities in response to the data request, and an in-depth comparison of different statistical criteria which allow to identify mobile students will lead to recommendations on further action in relation to statistics on student mobility in the European Union.
