The Consortium for North American Higher Education Collaboration (CONAHEC) is a non- profit organization that connects and fosters academic collaboration among higher education institutions interested in establishing or strengthening academic collaborative programs in the North American region.
Its original trinational size focusing on colleges and universities from the United States, Canada and Mexico has widened in 2008. Today CONAHEC includes participation of higher education institutions from other countries such as the University of Potsdam, that became the first member from Germany.
With more than 170 member institutions, today, CONAHEC is the largest and most comprehensive network of institutions from the NAFTA region, offering student exchanges, annual conferences, professional development programs, and direct advise to its members.
