Forskningsgruppen har som mål å bidra til økt forståelse av høyere utdanning bredt forstått. Det forskes blant annet på læring, undervisning, veiledning, teknologi, verdier, ledelse og organisasjon. Gruppens forskning er både relatert til UB/Result sitt mandat om å støtte høyere utdanning ved UiT Norges Arktiske Universitet og å utvikle kunnskap i de ulike fagfelt nasjonalt og internasjonalt. Det forskes om og med ledere, undervisere og studenter.
Gruppen møter jevnlig for å diskutere egen forskning, relevante tekster om høyere utdanning og metodespørsmål om det å forske på høyere utdanning. Gruppen er tverrfaglig og består av medlemmer fra pedagogikk, sosiologi, psykologi, statsvitenskap, organisasjon og ledelse, historie, filosofi, informatikk, bibliometri.
Leder for gruppen er Professor Trine Fossland
