VIRTUAL EVENT: Higher education and the hopes of the world: the next three years of CGHE research

Since late 2015, CGHE has been conducting research and open scholarly discussion on global, national and local higher education, linking researchers in nine countries.

CGHE has grown its research, publishing and providing commentary for the changing needs of the time. It now conducts global webinars on higher education topics that regularly draw participants from 30-40 countries and more.

In November this year, CGHE begins its second stage of Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded support (2020-2023), which will focus on connecting its research outcomes to policy and practice. It also involves two new projects, one focusing on the place of research in higher education, and the other mapping the global higher education space, with emphasis on Africa, Central Asia and the Caucuses, and Europe. 

This webinar is about the role and nature of research on higher education, and what a research centre with distributed worldwide capacity can do. But it is also about the core functions of higher education and critical research, which at their best, are humanity at its best and a chief hope of the world.

Webinar participants are invited to help identify the burning questions about higher education that need evidence-based answers.
