Global Top 100 University Innovation Assessment... 'Innovation University 2022 Ranking' Announced
The ‘Innovative Universities 2022 Ranking (The WURI Ranking 2022)’, which evaluates the degree of innovation of the world’s top 100 universities preparing for the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the future beyond, will be announced at 3 p.m. local time in Switzerland on the 9th.
The WURI Ranking, the world’s first ‘Innovative Universities Ranking’, was created to evaluate innovative universities that meet the demands of companies and society requiring the cultivation of talent needed for the future. ‘WURI’ stands for World’s Universities with Real Impact, meaning it evaluates universities worldwide that have a direct impact on the field.
The WURI Ranking is organized by the Korea Institute for International Competitiveness and jointly hosted by four institutions: the Han-Ja University League (HLU), which includes over 120 universities worldwide as members; the Korea Institute for Industrial Policy Studies (IPS); the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) based in Geneva, Switzerland; and the Taylor Institute of Franklin University located in Lugano, Switzerland. This year marks the third year since the launch of the WURI Ranking.
The WURI Ranking simultaneously announces seven rankings divided into six categories: ▲Top 100 Global Universities ▲Industry Application ▲Entrepreneurship ▲Ethical Values ▲Student Mobility and Openness ▲Crisis Management ▲Fourth Industrial Revolution. Each year, one new indicator has been added. The newly established Fourth Industrial Revolution category this year evaluates universities’ ability to efficiently respond to changes brought by the introduction of new innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and their innovation capabilities in utilizing these technologies.
A total of 309 universities participated in the evaluation across the six categories. The evaluation includes 792 cases, covering universities not only in Asia but also in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Oceania.
