The Centre for Higher Education Futures (CHEF) is a centre for research on higher education and university futures and for dialogue between researchers and the policy community in Denmark and internationally.
The centre’s themes and aims are:
Each semester CHEF organizes a series of talks, webinars and other events about the CHEF projects and other relevant research. They are announced on this website and in the membership newsletter twice a year. CHEF hosts several research projects, also detailed in the website.
CHEF has a programme of face-to-face and online talks, seminars and conferences, which draw participation from around the world. CHEF hosts research projects and has two ’umbrella’ activities: facilitation of the Higher Education Policy and Practice (HEPP) network of Danish researchers and practitioners under the auspices of the Danish Network for Teaching in Higher Education (DUN); and ‘European Universities – Critical Futures’ which involves 18 research centres across Europe in a programme of workshops/PhD courses and working groups to explore key issues in shaping universities in post-pandemic Europe.
CHEF’s current 170 members (2020) come from Danish universities and university colleges, researchers working on higher education from around the world, and policy makers, notably in Denmark and Europe.
Membership of CHEF is free. To become a member, please fill in a form:
