Research in Education, especially inter-institutional research, is a methodological proposition in construction, and it will possibly continue to be such. The main reason for me to pursue this goal of discussing and clarifying some issues related to inter-institutional research has been the concern of researchers and teachers who are developing projects in partnership involving two or more university institutions. In this paper, I try to map the meaning and fundamental features of this kind of research, to identify some lessons that have been learned, and to present limits and innovative possibilities of inter-institutional research for teacher-researcher training. The inter-institutional groups of research, according to their interests, can find a common ground in the possibility of sharing similar problems, experiences and goals. The interinstitutional research involving professors-researchers and students of different university institutions is arising as an answer to social, political, cultural and technological transformations which call into question conservative and individualistic forms of knowledge production and of teachers’ professional development. The fundamental features of inter-institutional research are: collective work; a common ground built through the differences; strengthening of the role of investigators and people investigated; a network construction along the process. The research process is rich in experiences.
