U-Multirank is the first global ranking allowing users - notably students - to easily compare universities' performance. Universities can be ranked according to research performance, teaching and learning, knowledge transfer, international orientation and regional engagement.
European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, Tibor Navracsics, said: "U-Multirank provides valuable information for applicants while giving us a better picture of how effective universities are as drivers of economic growth and social cohesion. Europe needs high-performing research universities as well as technical and regional institutions that can connect with businesses and act as innovation engines for their regions. The EU needs to do more to support them and I will focus on this in a renewed strategy for the modernisation of higher education later this year."
