Von Amory Burchard, Anja Kühne und Tilmann Warnecke. Keine Verlierer und Siegen siegt: Das neue „U-Multirank“ der EU will in Sachen Hochschulrankings alles besser machen. Aber die erste Ausgabe wirft jetzt vor allem Fragen auf.
Als die Europäische Kommission vor einigen Jahren ankündigte, ein Uni-Ranking für alle europäischen Hochschulen herausbringen zu wollen, war der Anspruch hoch. Viel genauer und differenzierter als bisher sollte die internationale Hochschulwelt bewertet werden, hieß es damals. Die bisherigen Uni-Weltranglisten, die oft als allzu einfach und verzerrend kritisiert werden, wollte man ersetzen. Nicht nur die üblichen Verdächtigen (wie Oxford oder Cambridge) sollten auftauchen, sondern auch kleinere Hochschulen, die auf der Uni-Weltkarte bisher gar nicht auffindbar waren. Mehr...

The first U-Multirank rankings were released on Tuesday. Created as part of a European Union-funded effort to rank a broader array of higher education institutions on a wider number of measures, U-Multirank allows users to develop their own personalized rankings of universities based on indicators related to teaching and learning, research, knowledge transfer, international orientation and regional engagement. The ranking effort has been praised as a corrective to existing university rankings that primarily reflect research output and that conflate performance on a number of indicators to a single number in a league table, but has also been criticized due to concerns about data availability, validity, and comparability.

Those of you who read this blog for the stuff about rankings will know that I have a fair bit of time for the U-Multirank project.  U-Multirank, for those in need of a quick refresher, is a form of alternative rankings that has been backed by the European Commission.  The rankings are based on a set of multi-dimensional, personalizable rankings data, and were pioneered by Germany’s Centre for Higher Education (CHE).
There is no league table here.  Nothing tells you who is “best”.  You just compare institutions (or programs, though in this pilot year these are still pretty thin) on a variety of individual metrics.   The results are shown as a series of letter grades, meaning that, in practice, institutional results on each indicator are banded into five groups – therefore no spurious precision telling you which institution is 56th and which is 57th.

Our University has been positioned between ‘good and very good’ in a new global institutional ranking. U-Multirank, an initiative led by the University of Twente’s Centre for Higher Education Policy Studies, is a new tool for comparing university performance across more than 850 institutions in 70 countries. It takes a different approach to other rankings, using a grading system from ‘A’, very good, to ‘E’, weak, allowing the user to compare the strengths and weaknesses of different institutions.

Scris de Irina Tracy. Un nou clasament al universităților la nivel global, realizat cu fonduri europene în valoare de două milioane de euro, a fost lansat marți, conform comisarului european pentru educație, cultură, multilingvism și tineret, Androulla Vassiliou.
Noua clasificare "U-Multirank" evaluează performanța a peste 850 de instituții de învățământ superior din întreaga lume, între acestea fiind 10 universități din România. Contrar clasamentelor tradiționale internaționale, evaluările "U-Multirank" se bazează pe cinci domenii-cheie: performanța în cercetare, calitatea procesului de învățământ (predare-învățare), orientare internațională, succes în transferul de cunoștințe (parteneriate cu mediul de afaceri și start-up-uri) și implicarea regională...

Un nouveau système de classement mondial des universités, financé par l'Union européenne à hauteur de deux millions d'euros, a été lancé mardi, dans le but d’évaluer les résultats de plus de 850 établissements d'enseignement supérieur du monde entier. U-Multirank est présenté par la Commission européenne comme un classement ‘’novateur’’, en ce sens qu'il permet des classements multidimensionnels, fondés sur un éventail de critères bien plus large que les classements internationaux actuels.

Já são conhecidos os resultados da primeira edição do U-Multirank, novo ranking internacional de universidades. A nível global, a Universidade de Coimbra (UC) tem pontuação máxima (“Very Good”) em vários indicadores integrados nas áreas de Investigação, Transferência de Conhecimento, Internacionalização e Participação Regional (ver tabela no final do texto).
Financiado pela União Europeia, o U-Multirank (www.umultirank.org) é um novo ranking internacional de avaliação das universidades, realizado por um consórcio independente liderado pelo Centre for Higher Education (CHE), na Alemanha, e pelo Center for Higher Education Policy Studies (CHEPS), nos Países Baixos, e nesta primeira edição avalia mais de 850 instituições, de 70 países...

Par Le Vif. L'Union européenne a lancé mardi un nouveau classement des universités partout dans le monde, reprenant des critères supplémentaires par rapport aux classements américains.
U-multirank, publié en ligne à midi trente mardi, permet aux étudiants de rechercher les universités correspondant le mieux à leurs attentes en fonction de leurs centres d'intérêt, ou de comparer des universités selon différents critères. Il est également possible de voir "en un clin d'œil" les caractéristiques des universités, selon des critères prédéfinis allant du pourcentage de réussite en bachelier au taux de chômage chez les anciens étudiants, en passant par le taux de citation de l'université ou le nombre de publications.

In Brussel is zojuist een nieuwe wereldwijde ranking van universiteiten en hogescholen gepresenteerd: U-Multirank. Een nieuwe nummer één levert dat niet op: de makers willen geen winnaars aanwijzen.
De bedoeling is dat gebruikers van de nieuwe ranglijst zelf kunnen bepalen waarop ze onderwijsinstellingen beoordelen. “Want het heeft geen zin om Harvard te vergelijken met een kunstacademie in Parijs”, zegt Jon File van het Twentse Center for Higher Education Policy Studies (CHEPS)...
