The European Commission launches U-Multirank

Five hundred universities from Europe and the world will take part on this new international university ranking

The European Commission launched last December 2012 its new ranking, entitled U-Multirank, which was officially introduced at a conference in Dublin (Ireland) last January 2013. This new system differs in the previous ones by rating universities according to broader range and performance factors, and it has a more user-friendly guide. Furthermore, it is based on objective criteria and data.
U-Multirank will rate universities in five different areas: reputation for research, quality of teaching and learning, international orientation, success in knowledge transfer, and regional engagement.
