Malmö University was granted the status of full university by the Swedish government from 2018. In June 2018, the University Board gave its Vice-Chancellor the task to carry out an external assessment of the quality of research at the University. The assessment should:(a) be in alignment with the overarching goals expressed in Malmö University’s Strategy 2022, (b) be performed at three levels (research unit, faculty and university levels), (c) use assessment by international experts. In accordance with these conditions, the External Research Assessment 2019 (ERA19) was conducted through peer-review, based on documentation and a site visit at the end of November 2019 by five international panels consisting of 32 distinguished scholars from10 countries and 26 different universities. This report contains an introduction to Malmö University, a description of the methods and process for ERA19 and the evaluation results. All panels’ reports (22 in total) have been analysed and integrated into a synthesised summary that presents results of the assessment of the research, recommendations of development areas and proposals for how the quality of research at Malmö University can be further improved.
