More regions can now sign up for the Rolling Programme of Reviews in Higher Education in Regional and City Development. The reviews in this category have the same overall goals, methodology and funding implications as the reviews in the second round (2008-10).
The key difference is the timing: The first OECD-led review visits will be scheduled for 2011. The cities and regions that sign up now can begin their self-evaluation process and benefit from the knowledge sharing and benchmarking with regions in the second round of reviews.
The rolling programme is open mainly to cities and regions that have IMHE member institutions. To submit your institution's online application please visit the IMHE website at www.oecd.org/edu/imhe/join.
Objectives
The purpose is to provide HEIs, regional and national authorities, and policy makers with information and analysis to assist them in formulating and implementing policies to mobilise higher education for social, economic and cultural development.
Analytical focus
The OECD review follows a common structure in order to ensure comparability across regions/city regions in different countries.
The reviews investigate:
-
The contribution of HEIs’ research to regional innovation
-
The role of teaching and learning in the development of human capital and skills
-
The contribution of HEIs to social, cultural and environmental development
-
The role of HEIs in building regional capacity to act in an increasingly competitive global economy
Outputs of the review
The reviews will produce a range of outputs that will be disseminated via print and electronic means, workshops and seminars:
- Regional self-evaluation reports prepared by the regions and their HEIs
- Peer review reports of all regions prepared by international experts
- Commissioned papers
- International comparative analysis on specific issues
