Abstract | In Norway, the higher education landscape is undergoing profound transformation. This process is being driven by a number of factors, including demography, competition and academic aspirations, with many so-called "university-colleges" aspiring to become fully-fledged universities. We shed light on the dynamics of one such institution, the recently established University of Agder, by posing three questions: what drove internal actors to attain full university status and what immediate effects have been felt across the university? What are the needs and expectations of regional constituencies? What types of university models have internal actors been working with? Conceptually, the article builds on the notion of the university as an organization and institution. The findings, which have implications for both theory and practice, suggest that the case university is attempting to find a balance between its global and local aspirations, but that it faces a number of challenges.
