The International Research and Researchers’ Network is intended to support the Society’s aim to maintain a prominent place and sustain a leading role within an increasingly global research community.

The network’s activities are centred around:

• engaging with overseas-based researchers of higher education, and higher education policy makers and practitioners;
• supporting UK-based researchers and scholars of higher education in international (or non-UK) contexts;
• promoting and disseminating research into higher education that is undertaken in, or has implications for, international (or non-UK) contexts;
• promoting and encouraging the incorporation of consideration of international contexts within research into higher education.

The IRR network will be of particular interest to those who:

• are interested in research and scholarship of higher education in international, or non-UK, contexts;
• are interested in comparative higher education research;
• are overseas-based researchers or scholars of higher education;
• are overseas-based higher education policy makers or practitioners.

The SRHE International Research and Researchers’ Network convenes events during the year to promote dialogue and information exchange and create and support a new network of researchers.
