IMHE - International Management in Higher Education

http://www.oecd.org/vgn/images/portal/cit_731/17/18/50227678wordle%20IMHE.JPGThe IMHE programme of work is defined around three or four main projects which typically last two or three years and lead to a publication, together with several ongoing activities.
These research activities are generally co-operative efforts, carried out by teams of experts. IMHE draws on the experience and knowledge available through consultancies and through contributions from its general membership.
Our main activities are:
The Assessment of Higher Education Learning Outcomes (AHELO)

The OECD is developing a feasibility study for assessment of higher education outcomes that will allow comparison between higher education institutions across countries. This is done in the context of massive growth in higher education, and increasing international attention to comparisons between institutions. Secretariat contact Karine Tremblay: karine.tremblay@oecd.org.
Higher Education in Regional and City Development
Higher education institutions make a significant contribution to economic, social and cultural development in their regions. In 2004-07, OECD conducted a review of higher education in 14 regions in 12 countries which resulted in recommendations for HEIs as well as for national and regions governments. In 2008-11 the OECD conducted Reviews of Higher Education in Regional and City Development in 14 regions within the OECD as well as emerging economies. The third round is now ongoing, but more regions can sign up for the reviews that have been designed to benefit mainly regions and cities having IMHE member institutions. Secretariat contact Jaana Puukka: jaana.puukka@oecd.org.
Managing Internationalisation

An important aspect of IMHE’s work in the coming two years will be a study on how the increasingly global nature of higher education is changing the ways in which institutions view their role and mission, and how that affects the way they work. Secretariat contact: imhe@oecd.org.
Supporting Quality Teaching in Higher Education

The project on quality teaching in higher education is meant to highlight effective quality initiatives and mechanisms and to push forward reflection or practices that may in turn help other institutions to improve the quality of their teaching and thereby, the quality of their graduates. The project is composed of 2 phases: an overview based on initiatives taken by 29 institutions (completed) and an exploration of approaches to quality teaching at institutional level (ongoing project).
In the context of the sustained growth and diversification of higher education systems, society’s concerns about the quality of the education offered to the students are increasing. The goal of the OECD-IMHE study on Quality teaching is to highlight effective quality initiatives and mechanisms and to push forward reflection or practices that may in turn help other institutions to improve the quality of their teaching and thereby, the quality of their graduates. In participating in the project, the institutions take part in an international review that collects information and benchmarks for their own purpose regarding the quality of their teaching. Secretariat contact Fabrice Henard: fabrice.henard@oecd.org.
"What Works" in Higher Education Management

Under this heading IMHE arranges a series of international events on different aspects of institutional management. The events are designed to assist Member institutions by reviewing current policy and practice and by disseminating examples of successful innovation. They provide professional development for participants, and can lead to the publication of reports and/or the creation of informal networks. Secretariat contact: imhe@oecd.org.
Innovation, Higher Education and Research for Development (IHERD)
The IHERD Programme comprises two sub-Programmes: i) research and innovation policy; and ii) higher education governance and institutional management. The OECD Programme on Higher Education and Research for Development (IHERD) is supported by a four-year voluntary contribution from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
