Welcome

The CHE is a think tank for higher education. Based on international comparisons, we develop models for the modernisation of higher education systems and institutions. These models we define in close dialogue with decision makers from higher education and politics. We do undertake research on higher education and develop political scenarios, but ultimately our activities aim at the realisation and testing of new organisational as well as steering and controlling models of higher education practice. On the basis of thus gained experience, we assist in further developing these models by carrying out pilot projects and by critically accompanying reform measures.
