Regional Self-Evaluation Report and OECD-led Peer Review Report

In 2009-2010 fifteen regions in eleven countries will undergo the OECD Review of Higher Education in Regional Development. Each review will produce two reports i.e. the Regional Self-Evaluation Report and the OECD-led Peer Review Report. The review visits will take place between August 2009 and April 2010. Each review visit will be preceded by a short pre-visit by one or two OECD analysts. There will also be a dissemination meeting organised by the region in collaboration with the OECD Secretariat to launch the review report and its key outcomes. Feedback on the process and impact of the review will be collected from the participating regions and their higher education institutions.
