International Centre for Higher Education Research Kassel
The International Centre for Higher Education Research Kassel (INCHER-Kassel) is an interdisciplinary research establishment of the University of Kassel, Germany in the field of higher education research and scientific research on higher education institutions. Researchers at INCHER-Kassel are involved in the study of various aspects related to higher education, university studies, and science, and work on a broad range of themes and disciplines at the interface of higher education systems and other social contexts. INCHER-Kassel is one among the few higher education research institutions in Germany that is attached to a university and is the only research establishment of its kind that has operated successfully for more than three decades. It is widely considered as one of the most significant international institutions in higher education research.
== History ==
INCHER-Kassel was initially established in 1978 as the Centre for Research on Higher Education and Work (Wissenschaftliches Zentrum für Berufs- und Hochschulforschung – WZI) at the University of Kassel (formerly known as Kassel Polytechnic University). It was conceived to carry out a continuous scientific reflection about practical problems in higher education institutions and provide essential scientific inputs in order to achieve academic objectives and effect changes.
The formal establishment of the Centre took place alongside the appointment of the sociologist and higher education researcher Ulrich Teichler as the first Professor for Research on Higher Education and Work. His efforts over the next 30 years shaped the character of not just INCHER-Kassel, but of German-speaking higher education research in general. In 2005, an external commission comprising Jutta Allmendinger, Klaus Landfried, and Björn Wittrock evaluated the Centre for the first time. They recommended the continuation and expansion of its activities, and also proposed certain directional shifts. This positive evaluation helped the Kassel University Board to decide for the continuation of the Centre after Ulrich Teichler’s retirement and to explore possibilities of expansion. The Centre changed its name to International Centre for Higher Education Research Kassel (INCHER-Kassel) in March 2006 in order to stress more on the international character of its activities and also have an acronym easily comprehensible in an international context.
A directorial change took place at INCHER-Kassel in 2011 when the sociologist and higher education researcher Georg Krücken accepted the directorship of INCHER-Kassel along with the professorship of higher education research at Kassel University. This change saw a stronger orientation towards research on the relationship between higher education and other fields of society, and a sharper structuration of higher education research with other cross-cutting research areas such as knowledge, organisations, and innovation.
