New Report Shows Growing Importance of Rankings

The European Universities Association in partnership with the French Rectors’ Conference, Dublin Institute of Technology and the Academic Information Centre in Latvia, has produced a report that assesses the impact of university rankings on the decision making processes and strategies of European higher education institutions.
The report by Ellen Hazelkorn, Tia Loukkola and Therese Zhang analysed survey responses from 171 institutions in 39 countries. There were also site visits to six universities in Austria, France, Denmark, Portugal, Romania and the United Kingdom and a round table conference.
