The International Conference on Higher Education was created on the initiative of İhsan Doğramacı, eminent Turkish pediatrician and educator, in 1981. It is a meeting of minds on significant issues in higher education, primarily university governance. It assembles experts in higher education (heads/administrators of higher education institutions, scholars, researchers and representatives of interested organizations and foundations).

The Conference is international with participants from all corners of the world, including North and Latin America, Western and Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.

The Conference is independent, not linked to any national or international organization. It is a free forum for the exchange of opinions and experiences, views, and new trends in higher education and its management.
