Supporting the Contribution of Higher Education Institutions to Regional Development Peer Review Report: Värmland Region Sweden
Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)

Abstract
Considerable efforts have been made in Sweden to foster and promote innovation, both nationally and regionally. There have been some notable successes and in many respects the integration of higher education into the developmental structures of the region is exemplary. Karlstad University in Värmland is justifiably proud of its short history. Like many of its size and age, it is ambitious, but will find it difficult to simultaneously sustain regional, national and international missions. Higher education is an increasingly competitive sector and some hard choices may need to be made by the institution's leaders and managers. The OECD Peer Review Team recommends that the university should focus its activities on those in which it has clear strengths and on which Värmland's economy can give it competitive advantage.
