Based on the forecast data provided, the number of doctoral or equivalent level participants in study periods or work placements under international or national programs is set to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 1.87 thousand in 2024, this number increases to 2.62 thousand by 2028. This reflects consistent year-on-year increases, revealing growth rates of approximately 10.16% from 2024 to 2025, and 9.22% from 2025 to 2026. Before 2024, actual participation levels need to be considered for trend analysis. The data suggests compound annual growth rate trends but notably does not provide the 2023 value for an accurate CAGR calculation.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of global economic shifts, such as altered funding and policy changes for international mobility programs, which could affect participation rates. Additionally, increasing digitalization and remote learning capabilities might redefine the dynamics of study-related placements, potentially expanding access.
