Abstract

In 1988, the Consortium of Higher Education Researchers (CHER) was founded – a membership organization of higher education researchers interested in enhancing the academic quality of higher education research, thereby striving for a balance between theoretical enhancement and societal relevance of research and placing emphasis on macro-societal issues of higher education and on international comparison. CHER is European based but comprises members from all over the world interested in these research priorities. It is a relatively small, softly organized association which turned out to be very successful in networking and stimulating research collaboration. Many CHER members are highly visible in terms of academic research productivity, international collaborative research, and dialogues between higher education research and higher education policy and practice.
