U-Multirank
Launched in 2008 at the initiative of the European Commission, U-Multirank is a unique international university ranking, characterized by a multi-dimensional approach, which in addition to the evaluation of publication and patent databases and statistical data also considers student evaluations. In total, feedback from more than 100,000 students on the quality of their university was included. The MCI has been participating in U-Multirank as of 2017 and has since achieved excellent results and top global rankings.
