Reviews of Higher Education in Regional and City Development are the OECD's vehicle to mobilise higher education for economic, social and cultural development of cities and regions. Reviews analyse how the higher education system impacts upon regional and local development. They facilitate stronger collaborative work and capacity building.
In 2008-2010, the OECD Reviews of Higher Education in Regional and City Development are reaching out to 15 cities and regions in 11 countries. The reviews are carried out by the OECD Programme on Institutional Management in Higher Education (IMHE) in collaboration with The World Bank and other OECD directorates and programmes which also conduct separate reviews of regional innovation systems.
