Hedda – the European association of research centres, institutes and groups with expertise in higher education research.

The Hedda partners are situated in eight different European countries; Norway, Finland, Germany, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, France and Portugal; and approach higher education research from a wide variety of disciplines; sociology, political science, economy and pedagogy to name a few.

They are involved in higher education research, teaching and consultancy, both as experts within their national contexts as well as within the European and international arenas. They are located either within universities or as independent research centres, and work on an individual basis as well as together in an association and/or in cooperation with a number of international partners.
