Boston. The University of Turin is in first place in Italy between Mega and Large Universities according to U-Multirank ranking. The ranking project was funded by the European Union, which classifies 1,500 universities in the world (about 18,000 in total), distinguishing 16 indicators (4 in teaching, 3 in research 4 in transfer of knowledge, 2 in international orientation and 3 in regional engagement). In the edition published a few days ago, the University of Turin resulted as being among the best European Universities for data concerning the transfer of knowledge (2A), regional engagement (2A), the researchers’ performance and ability to create relationships with the territory. U-Multirank was developed by an independent consortium led by the Centre for Higher Education (CHE) in Germany, by the Centre for Higher Education Policy Studies (CHEPS) of the University of Twente and the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) of the University Leiden, which also produces its own ranking for methodological robustness.
