Update on EUA Rankings Review project

February 16, 2012

In June 2011, EUA published the report “Global University Rankings and their Impact” which provided a comprehensive analysis of the methodologies used in the main international university rankings and a number of other ongoing projects that are seeking to measure university performance. As part of its Rankings Review project, EUA is continuing to monitor developments in this field for its member universities and will publish a second ‘Rankings Review’ report in November 2012.

The Editorial Board which oversees the Rankings Review project recently met to discuss the focus of the next report. At the meeting, project expert and author of the  2011 report Professor Andrejs Rauhvargers (Secretary General of the Latvian Rectors’ Conference), explained that there have been a number of important changes and developments in the international rankings field over the last six months including the development of new methodologies and the arrival of new ranking products. This means there will be a lot of interesting new material to be covered in the next report.

More details about the launch of the second Rankings Review report will be published later this year through the EUA Newsletter/website.
