A Practical Guide<br />

<strong>Benchmark<strong>in</strong>g</strong> <strong>in</strong> European<br />

<strong>Higher</strong> Education<br />

This handbook has been drafted by experts <strong>in</strong> higher <strong>education</strong> <strong>in</strong> the context of<br />

a two-year EU-funded project, <strong>Benchmark<strong>in</strong>g</strong> <strong>in</strong> European <strong>Higher</strong> Education.<br />

The project was implemented by four partner organisations: the European<br />

Centre for Strategic Management of Universities (ESMU), the Centre for<br />

<strong>Higher</strong> Education Development (CHE), the UNESCO European Centre for<br />

<strong>Higher</strong> Education (UNESCO-CEPES) and the University of Aveiro, which carried<br />

out extensive desk and bibliographical research <strong>in</strong>to benchmark<strong>in</strong>g<br />

concepts and practices. The partners designed a typology to characterise<br />

collaborative benchmark<strong>in</strong>g groups <strong>in</strong> higher <strong>education</strong> and carried out <strong>in</strong>terviews<br />

with these groups. This resulted <strong>in</strong> a report on project f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>gs, an<br />

onl<strong>in</strong>e tool on benchmark<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> higher <strong>education</strong> and <strong>guide</strong>l<strong>in</strong>es for effective<br />

benchmark<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
