Brief description of the focus of five areas of research into higher education conducted by the National Swedish Board of Universities and Colleges are presented. These five research or problem areas are as follows: the role of higher education in society, higher education as a system (structure and governance), the environment and working methods of research, the environment and working methods of teaching, and research and development organization and planning. The scope and working methods of the overall research program are discussed, and the following information is provided: the distribution of money between areas and subjects, a list of research projects in progress, conferences and problem area meetings held in recent years, and a current list of knowledge and problem surveys in connection with the research program.
