U-Multirank
The U-Multirank, initiated by the European Commission, is distinguished by its multi-dimensional approach measuring multiple quality criteria of universities and institutes of higher learning. In addition to comprehensive information on the participating academic institutes, the evaluation of publication and patent databases, and the collection of statistical data, students are also invited to assess the quality of their own institutes. In total, feedback from more than 100,000 students was assessed.
Launched in 2008 on the initiative of the European Commission, the U-Multirank not only analyzes large, traditional universities, but also focuses on smaller and specialized institutes of higher learning. The target group of the U-Multirank are students, researchers and decision-makers in universities and the economy.
