This handbook systematises the current state of knowledge on topics related to higher education research. It examines research, teaching and studying, research- and teaching-related knowledge transfer, as well as higher education institutions as organisations and their functions in the education and training system. By also considering the topics over time, this standard work provides information on developments in higher education and the current state of affairs. In 60 articles, the following questions are answered: What do we currently know about the topic in question, where does research stand, and what remains unanswered? The volume is aimed at higher education, science and education researchers as well as practitioners in higher education development and higher education policy.
