The partner of the UrFU Championship has taken a high position in the academic ranking of world universities

Ural Federal University, which is a partner of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", joined the group of nine Russian universities included in the Shanghai Ranking. It shared the sixth place with MEPhI University among the Russian universities represented in the new academic ranking of world universities ARWU-2021, often referred to as Shanghai. UrFU has joined the 701-800 group in the world.

"We cannot yet boast of Nobel or Fields Prize laureates among our scientists and graduates, but we are one of a very small group of Russian universities represented in the ranking.- says Viktor Koksharov, Rector of UrFU. — In fact, we represent a huge macroregion from Moscow to Siberia: of the nine universities in Russia, only three are on the list outside the two capitals, including us."

The head of the university adds that in recent years, his participation in the 5-100 project has had an unconditional effect on the university's development (which is reflected in the ratings), and UrFU intends to use the best practices from it in the new Priority 2030 program for strategic academic leadership.

UrFU has traditionally been among the top ten Russian universities according to national and world rankings, and the university's indicators of graduates' demand among employers are particularly high.

Reference. The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) has been published annually since 2003 in order to identify the world's leading universities. The compilers study the indicators of more than 2 thousand. universities, and a thousand of the best of them are included in the ranking.

Universities are ranked based on six indicators: the number of graduates and staff who have received Nobel and Fields Prizes; the number of articles published in the journals Nature and Science; the number of most frequently cited researchers and articles based on information from the Web of Science database; and the average academic performance per faculty member.
