A multilayer and spatial description of the Erasmus mobility network

A linked and manually verified dataset of the Erasmus mobility between European higher education institutions as a multiplex, multipartite, multi-labelled, spatial network is presented. The Erasmus mobility network was enriched with the integration of mobility and three databases: the institutional socio-economic data of the European Tertiary Education Register (ETER), the Global Research Identifier Database (GRID) as well as points of interest concerning surrounding institutions. The headquarters of institutes were geocoded to investigate spatial characteristics of the mobility network. The linked datasets provide relevant information to grasp a more comprehensive understanding of the mobility patterns and the attractiveness of the institutions.

本研究呈现了一套经人工核验的关联数据集，该数据集以多层、多分图、多标签空间网络的形式，记录了欧洲高等教育机构间的伊拉斯谟（Erasmus）流动情况。本伊拉斯谟流动网络通过整合流动原始数据与三类数据库得到丰富完善：涵盖欧洲高等教育注册登记系统（European Tertiary Education Register, ETER）的机构社会经济数据、全球研究标识符数据库（Global Research Identifier Database, GRID），以及与周边院校相关的兴趣点数据。研究对所有机构总部进行地理编码，以探究该流动网络的空间特征。该关联数据集可为全面把握人员流动模式与院校吸引力提供关键参考信息。
