A Cross-Cultural Collaborative
[By Staff Reporters]
The Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) was founded in 1956 to foster cross-cultural understanding, scholarship, academic achievement and societal development through the international study of educational ideas, systems, and practices. The Society’s members include more than 2,000 academics, practitioners, and students from around the world.
Protean Interests
CIES work is built on cross-disciplinary interests and expertise as historians, sociologists, economists, psychologists, anthropologists, and educators. The Society includes 1,000 institutional members, primarily academic libraries and international organizations.
Comparative Studies and Policy
Over the last four decades, the Society’s members have strengthened the theoretical basis of comparative studies and increasingly applied those understandings to policy and implementation issues in developing countries and cross-cultural settings. The membership has increased global understanding and public awareness of education issues, and has informed both domestic and international education policy debate. The Society works in collaboration with other international and comparative education organizations to advance the field and its objectives.
Assessment
As a registered non-profit [501(c)3] organization in the United States, the Comparative and International Education Society supports the activities of its members to:
- promote understanding of the many roles that education plays in the shaping and perpetuation of cultures, the development of nations, and in influencing the lives of individuals
- improve opportunities for the citizens of the world by fostering an understanding of how education policies and programs enhance social and economic development
- increase cross-cultural and cross-national understanding through educational processes and by the study and critique of educational theories, policies and practices that affect individual and social well being

CER symposium
How do patients, providers, and payers know whether health information is credible, accurate, useful or appropriate?
Comparative effectiveness research (CER) has the potential to improve health outcomes by helping people make better-informed decisions. But how do we know that CER will generate information that is useful?
You can help us find the answers by joining us on September 30 for a conversation and symposium featuring a broad range of health care stakeholders—patients, providers, policymakers, payers, researchers, and those who fund research.
https://www.regonline.com/builder/site/Default.aspx?EventID=1271629
We’ll focus on an effort led by the National Health Council to create a framework to guide the development of CER, evaluate its results, and assist in communicating the findings to the right audiences.
Be a part of the conversation—register today and add your voice to our efforts to make CER useful.

“In scientific literature, abstracts may be the only substantive portion of a manuscript that busy professionals have time to read.”
“However, abstracts often don’t include all of the necessary and important information about the research that was performed. Some abstracts even fail to report side effects or harms.
When healthcare professionals, journalists, or consumers read only the abstracts, they may come to inaccurate conclusions about the research being reported.”
