The Higher Education Research Group (HERG) is an international research group engaged in higher education research. It aims to foster research and build connections in cross-national, multi-disciplinary contexts through the sharing of ideas, knowledge and expertise. Current streams of activity centre on the internationalisation of higher education, cultural interactions, students as partners (SaP), digital technologies and participatory research. We welcome research contributions from all fields connected with education.
We aim to bring together educational specialists in order to advance knowledge exchange in international settings and promote research and innovative education practices. We provide a platform for academics and professionals worldwide to connect and networking opportunities.
