Abstract	"During the last five years, higher education research in Germany seems to have taken a significant upturn. This is partly a side effect of the obvious boom overall in empirical research on education, and partly of the reform movement that has affected the German higher education system since the mid-1990s. The demand for data in the field of higher education will increase considerably in the future. The available data infrastructure for higher education research in Germany consists of two central and complementary sources: official statistics on higher education on the one hand and survey-based research on the other. In principle, there are no serious obstacles to accessing the available data stock relevant to higher education. However, access to some of the most important surveys would be improved through the establishment of a Research Data Center at the Higher Education Information System (HIS, Hochschul-Informations-System). Furthermore, there are some significant shortcomings in the present data provision. New topics that place new demands on data provision must be integrated into official statistics and survey-based research alike (e.g., migration status, competencies, lifelong learning, quality of studies, institutional effects, international mobility, programs to promote younger scholars etc.). In particular there is a lack of panel designs. The recently established National Education Panel Study (NEPS) will eliminate some, but not all, of these deficiencies." (author's abstract).
