Self-evaluation report: the Bio Bio region
This Self-Evaluation Final Report was prepared by the working group appointed by the Regional Steering Committee for the Bío Bío Region in Chile. The report reflects the joint effort of higher education institutions (HEI) and regional stakeholders in the Bío Bío Region in an attempt to assess the impact that the HEI have had on regional development. The self-evaluation was performed between December 2008 and June 2009. It included three workshops with regional stakeholders; surveys of regional HEI and business representatives; interviews with qualified informers from the public and private sectors, higher education institutions, and research centres; reviews of existing material such as reports, studies, proceedings, legal documents, etc.; and the analysis and processing of available statistical information.
