Education institutions in the ranking are evaluated by 35 indicators, reflecting universities` three main missions in the modern world: “education”, “science”, and “university & society”. In contrast to today`s three prestigious academic rankings (THE, QS, ARWU), the highest weight (about 40%) in this new international academic ranking was given to the evaluation of a higher education institution’s educational mission.
The 35 indicators are combined into five groups, each of which has a certain weight in the final evaluation: “education” (40%), “science” (30%), “internationalization” (10%), “sustainability and development potential” (10%), and “online education” (10%).
