provides
a clear understanding of the main types of institutions in the system,
there is currently no widely accepted classification of European Higher
Education Institutions (HEIs). The diversity of national terms and labels,
such as colleges, Fachhochschulen, or technical universities and the
successive expansion of higher education beyond traditional (PhD-awarding)
universities make it increasingly challenging to identify which main types
of institutions are present in European higher education. Even more so
since what constitutes the defining characteristics of a 'university' or a
'college' differs across countries.

The European Tertiary Education Register (ETER)

provides
for the first time a register and comparable data on a population of more
than 3,000 HEIs in nearly 40 countries. On this basis and thanks to the
integration of ETER with research and technology output data from the RISIS
<https://eter-project.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=922959e6e122388b77bde9390&id=38fa510936&e=e01c87a980>

infrastructure project, a comparable classification of European HEIs has
been developed by Professor Benedetto Lepori from the Università della
Swizzera italiana. The classification comprises six classes of HEIs showing
distinct characteristics in terms of the relative orientation towards
research vs education and of the subject specialisation towards NATural
SCIences vs Social Sciences and Humanities (see figure below).

The classification identifies a class of about 300 *research universities*,
including all top-ranked European universities, alongside a smaller class
of *science and technology-oriented HEIs*, such as TU Munich and ETH
Zurich, with a strong research focus and high technology production.
Further, a large class of *generalist HEIs* includes younger and
less-research oriented universities, alongside large universities of
applied sciences, which enrol nearly 40% of the bachelor and master
students. Finally, the HEI system also includes a group of *highly
specialized HEIs* in social sciences and humanities, such as art, music and
theology schools, and a large number of *educational-only HEIs*, comprising
also most private institutions.

The new classification allows for a better understanding of the European
higher education structure and identifies more homogenous groups of
institutions, for example, as targets of European policies. The ongoing
extension of ETER will allow its successive refinement and analysis of
changes over time.
