The Kommuner och Högskolor i Samverkan (KHiS, Municipalities and Universities in Collaboration) is a collaborative organization formed by 54 municipalities and 5 universities in Northern Sweden.

The universities include Luleå University of Technology, Umeå University, SLU - Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Umeå, Mid Sweden University and University of Gävle.

The purpose of KHiS is to collaborate and create increased accessibility to higher education and competency development in the northern region, taking into account the local competency needs. This is mainly achieved through the development of flexible education programs delivered at a distance, and also by prioritizing the usage of information and communication technologies (ICT) and associated teaching techniques. Information about the learning centers is spread trough universities.

Lärcentra.se is a service, developed by KHiS with other suchlike networks, to offer more information about the learning centers in Sweden.

It is difficult to locate information about KHiS in English.

The KHiS web site is reportedly at http://www.khis.org/index_eng.php - though this was not working as of June 2009.
