Monash Centre for Research in International Education (MCRIE) is an official Monash University centre dedicated to providing teaching, research and educational services in the field of International Education in the context of globalisation. MCRIE offers core studies in globalisation and education, internationalising the curriculum and international education; and MCRIE staff are active in research, publication and worldwide scholarly networks, having held continuous Australian Research Council funding since MCRIE began in 1998. There are four Faculty of Education staff working full-time in MCRIE, and more that fifteen students pursuing research degrees in international education, comparative education and related fields, mostly at doctoral level.
International education is a new field of study which builds on the older field of comparative education while taking account of the cross border movement of people, ideas and knowledge, technology and institutional programs. The global dimension is having a growing impact on research and scholarship, learning and teaching everywhere. International education takes account of social, cultural, economic and political elements; it is interested in both educational trade and development aid; and explores the many practical educational implications of globalisation, including cross-border cultural mixing, and novel forms of human identity and professional practice. The Centre has a special interest in the Asia-Pacific region.
