The Association for Higher Education Studies (YÖÇAD) is a non-governmental organization established in 2015 that operates in the field of higher education in Türkiye. YÖÇAD was founded to conduct research at national and international levels in the field of higher education, engage in academic activities, create a foundation for collaborative studies, and share emerging trends, research findings, and conceptual perspectives in today’s higher education world through scientific events such as conferences, congresses, panels, symposiums, seminars, and workshops.

The International Higher Education Conferences (IHECs) address current issues in higher education and facilitate the exchange of ideas among academic communities. These conferences typically bring together national and international academics, researchers, and higher education professionals. The conferences organized by YÖÇAD cover a wide range of topics, focusing on areas such as educational policies, teaching methods, academic management, and student experiences. These conferences serve as a crucial source of information and an interaction platform for anyone interested in following innovations and developments in the field of higher education.
