Abstract
The aim of this article is to propose a panoramie view of the achievements of European research on higher education. The author analyzes the stages of their development, identifies the most important works and researchers in the field, as well as discusses the institutions in which they conduct their research. The article presents the main thematic areas of higher education research as well as the characteristics of the various types of researchers undertaking this kind of research. The article includes an analysis of the factors contributing to the non-visibility of non-anglophone higher education research, as well as initiatives undertaken by European researchers to reduce the negative effects of this non-visibility through communication and international co-operation.
