Preface
CIPES was established in 1998. From the outset, its mission is to engage in scholarly research, advance critical thought and forward informed understanding about the vital issues of policy that higher education faces both nationally and internationally. CIPES was initially set up as a research centre of the Foundation of Portuguese Universities (FUP). In 2006, it became a private association founded by the Universities of Aveiro and Porto. Under the leadership of its founding Director, our colleague Alberto Amaral, CIPES set itself the task to become a centre of reference for higher education research in Portugal and abroad. At the national level, CIPES’ aim is to strengthen and to spur on public debate on issues in higher education and to remedy a situation made no better by the relative paucity of policy studies of any kind in Portugal. After its initial period of growth, CIPES consolidated its research team into becoming one of the largest research centres specialised in the domain of higher education. From the first, CIPES placed major weight upon having a visible and tangible international presence. Central to this strategy has been CIPES’ participation as Founding Associate in the European Consortium for Higher Education Data Development and Analysis (HEDDA) together with similar centres and groups from the UK, Finland, Norway, France, the Netherlands, Germany and the Czech Republic. CIPES has also been highly active in EUREDOCS – the European Network of Doctoral Students in Higher Education. EUREDOCS has likewise played a key role in bringing together cutting edge research to focus on the various aspects of higher education policy in Europe and the European Union. CIPES was also a member of the EU PRIME Network of Excellence. These international partnerships are essential in laying down a solid basis for our work. And for this we are grateful indeed to our colleagues and fellow research centres in Europe and beyond. To some, higher education i
