Programme on Institutional Management in Higher Education (IMHE) - Member Testimonials

English

"Higher education serves multiple important roles in societies, including the intellectual development of each person who takes part and economic, social and cultural development.  A vibrant higher education system is a key contributor to individual personal achievement and to the creation of successful societies and economies.  The IMHE provides a valuable forum where the policies and practices underlying vibrant higher education systems can be identified, discussed and widely disseminated.  This is of immediate direct benefit to participating agencies, and institutions and their students.  In the long run it is of benefit to all humankind. "

Tom Boland, Chief Executive, Higher Education Authority, Ireland

 

"The value added benefits of IMHE is that it provides direct access to latest thinking on HE from around the world. It enables us to develop good contacts with other policy makers and to track latest developments. We have also found IMHE useful in addressing particular issues e.g. financial management and governance."

Steve Egan, Acting Chief Executive, HEFCE, Bristol

 

"For the University of Iceland the membership of IMHE is very valuable as it makes it possible to follow what innovations are happening in the university world. It also makes it possible to participate in research
projects that encourage self evaluation and provide benchmarks with other universities."

Ingjaldur Hannibalsson, Professor, University of Iceland
