What is CHER?
CHER was founded during a first conference on November, 24-26, 1988 in Kassel (Germany) where some 50 scholars from 17 countries met to discuss the current state and future avenues in the field of higher education research. These scholars agreed to form a international network of higher education researchers. A steering group of seven persons was established. In 1993 CHER was changed into a foundation under Dutch law with a board of governors of seven persons. Currently, CHER counts some 160 members from more than 30 countries, from whom almost a quarter are from outside Europe.
The CHER secretariat, previously hosted at CHEPS, University of Twente, has moved with the year 2001 to the Centre for Research on Higher Education and Work, University of Kassel, Germany. Since 2013, the CHER secretariat is hosted at CIPES – Centre for Research in Higher Education Policies, Porto, Portugal.
