This project-in-progress is one of several stages of the National Swedish Board of Universities and Colleges followup of the national reform of higher education. The overall object of the project is to study the manner in which the higher education system has adapted to the principle of recurrent education. It will entail following Swedish and international discussions of recurrent education and conducting case studies and statistical profiles with a view to providing a rough outline of the system's adaptation process.
