Master in Research and Innovation in Higher Education (MARIHE) is one of the longest-running programmes under the Erasmus Mundus framework. Launched in the early 2000s, at a time when higher education was becoming increasingly globalised, MARIHE aimed to bridge the gap between national and international perspectives in higher education management.
MARIHE began as a consortium of four partners: the University for Continuing Education Krems (Danube University Krems) in Austria, the University of Tampere in Finland, Beijing Normal University in China, and the University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück in Germany. By 2018, the consortium expanded to include Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in Hungary and Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology in India. While initially conceived as a European-focused programme in higher education management, it quickly became apparent that addressing global challenges in higher education required a broader approach – so MARIHE was the first consortia to include an Asian university as a full member, fostering collaboration and trust across regions and bringing in two of the largest higher education systems in the world. This commitment to diversity and adaptability has been a driving factor behind MARIHE’s development over the years.
