"WISE Project (2023)”, Initiatives and strategies in favour of student well-being in Europe

The following report is a qualitative report based on 10 interviews of HEIs and 10 student organisations in Europe led from January to July 2023. Moreover, we conducted 8 Focus Groups between November 2022 to May 2023 among students from different fields, level of studies and gender. Based on these results we propose a general overview on how student well-being is taken into account by the institutions at a national but also at a local level and how we can improve student well-being. It is a qualitative report based on focus groups and interviews of students, teaching, and administrative staff in European HEIs to acquire knowledge of initiatives for students' well-being in Europe. The aim was to document and deepen the knowledge about a series of interesting practices in favour of student well-being.
