From the description of a research project on companies' relationships with non-profit organisations:
La première innovation de ce travail réside dans la localisation de ses recherches, autant pour le pays concerné que pour les opportunités qu’elle représente pour d’autres pays. Peu de recherches est en effet menée au Luxembourg sur ce sujet [...] Nous profiterons alors des opportunités que présentent le Luxembourg comme échelle d’étude pour collecter des informations.

case study
Although I generally use some form of "level" or "scale" to translate "échelle" in an academic context, here you could likely get away with "case study" as really all it is saying is that Luxembourg will be used as the case study here.

yardstick for study
Yardstick was my first reaction, and I notice this: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/business_commerc...
We're talking about somewhere where material can be collected, so maybe *data source for study* might be another option.
