OECD/IMHE project: "Supporting the Contribution of Higher Education Institutions to Regional Development"
Since 2004, the Øresund University has participated in an OECD/IMHE-project under the heading "Supporting the Contribution of Higher Education Institutions to Regional Development". The project covers 14 regions in 12 countries across the world. The project is based on a self-evaluation report followed by an peer review visit by an international expert team.

The conclusion of the PRR is essentially that:
”we are in no doubt that the Øresund University and the Øresund Science Region are on the brink of succesfully establishing a new approach to achieving competitive regional development outcomes in a global environment”
