EDUIMHE - the OECD Higher Education Programme

IMHE current and past activities
The Assessment of Higher Education Learning Outcomes (AHELO)
The OECD is carrying out a feasibility study for the assessment of higher education learning outcomes. The purpose of this feasibility study is to see if it is practically and scientifically feasible to asses what students in higher education know and can do upon graduation. Secretariat contact: ahelo@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).
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 that 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. Secretariat contact: Jaana Puukka (jaana.puukka@oecd.org).
Managing Internationalisation
IMHE also examines 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 designed to highlight effective quality initiatives and mechanisms and to encourage reflection or practices that may help 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 (completed). This project has produced two publications. The latest report is available here. Secretariat contact: imhe@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 members of the Programme by reviewing current policy and practice and by disseminating examples of successful innovation. Secretariat contact: imhe@oecd.org.
