Hedda was created on January 1st 2001, by the seven founding members: CHEPS, CIPES, CSET, FINHERT, IREDU, NIFU and PFI. CHES and CHE joined the association in 2002 and 2003 respectively. Together these partners form an association with a richly unique knowledge and expertise basis on higher education.
Hedda is designed to strengthen the relationship between higher education research and practice. Hedda is not and will not develop into a new European higher education research structure on its own, but is a coordinating body aiming at organizing and supporting the currently available academic expertise and knowledge on higher education in Europe.
Hedda consists of its members as well as a coordinating administration located at the University of Oslo. For more information please see the respective web pages or contact us at
