The HSE Institute of Education is pleased to announce the call for papers of the XVII International Conference on Higher Education (ICHE)! The XVII ICHE Conference Theme is «The (Non)Homogeneous Landscape of Higher Education: Institutions, Trajectories, Effects».
Higher education no longer constitutes a single and homogeneous system. Universities differ in access to resources, levels of selectivity, and their roles within national and global educational landscapes. Universities are also distinguished by how they interpret and prioritize their missions. Massification, internationalization, and digitalization simultaneously expand access while intensifying stratification, generating new forms of inequality between institutions, academic programs, faculty members, and students.
As a result, diverse educational trajectories emerge for students and graduates, along with heterogeneous social, economic, and cultural effects of higher education. How does institutional diversity shape access equality? To what extent do differences between universities reproduce social injustice, and to what extent do they create new mechanisms for mobility? How are the effects of higher education changing for individuals, labor markets, and society as a whole? Which student and academic career trajectories are becoming dominant? How do university missions transform within an increasingly differentiated landscape?
The call for abstracts is open until May 10, 2026.
When and where: 28-30 October, offline
Language: English and Russian
No fees are charged.
