Abstract	The German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) was set up to study the acquisition of education, to assess the consequences of education for life courses, and to describe central education processes and trajectories across the entire life span. It is organized as a network of excellence linking together researchers from different disciplines with the life-course perspective serving as its preeminent theoretical characteristic. Although focusing on eight stages ranging over the entire life span, it ensures longitudinal integration through its theoretical orientation toward six major dimensions ("pillars"): competence development, learning environments, social inequalities and educational decisions, educational processes of migrants, returns to education, as well as motivation and personality. Methodologically, NEPS follows a multicohort sequence design starting with a total number of more than 60,000 target persons from six cohorts (early childhood, Kindergarten children, 5th graders, 9th graders, first-year college students, and adults who, in most cases, had already left the educational system). Different instruments including questionnaires and competence tests are being administered in all six cohorts. Each new wave of the panel study is being made available to the scientific community as quickly as possible. (c) Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH. (ZPID).
