About
Founded in 1995, CIHE promotes the belief that an international perspective is needed to foster enlightened policies and practices in higher education. All of the work that we do, in the domains of research, publication, education and advisory services, is guided by our commitments.
Our Commitments
Rigorous and ethical research and thoughtful, informed analysis
Conducting all of our activities in collaboration with others around the globe and to elevating local perspectives on all of the issues we analyze
Open access publication, translation into other languages and clear and accessible prose
Issues of social justice and, as such, we seek to acknowledge and—when possible—explicitly address global higher education inequalities through our work
Maintaining a strong focus on less-resourced and less-powerful global contexts and to promoting critical perspectives through our scholarship
Supporting the development of the next generation of international higher education scholars
