Welcome to CHERI

The Centre for Higher Education Research and Information (CHERI) was created in 1992. Through its activities it seeks to provide expert and objective analysis of the changes and issues facing higher education systems and institutions worldwide. It does so in collaboration with many institutional partners and in a wide variety of national and international contexts. It draws on both the expertise of its own research staff and on the experience and expertise of senior academics and administrators throughout higher education.

The Centre's main areas of expertise are:

• employment and the knowledge society
• equity and social justice
• management and regulation

More information about CHERI and its staff can be found in 'About CHERI' . CHERI has offices both in London and in the Open University's main campus in Milton Keynes and the details are provided in 'Contact us'.
