The Association of Rating Compilers (ACR) has published Pilot ranking of universities in the BRICS countries. The final list included 600 educational institutions from ten Commonwealth countries: Brazil, Egypt, India, Iran, China, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and South Africa. Russia became the second country in the ranking by the number of participants – 161 universities. Novosibirsk State is in 19th place in the overall ranking, occupying the highest positions among Russian universities located in the regions.
In general, the BRICS rating methodology repeats the methodology of the “Three University Missions” rating, but takes into account the national characteristics of the countries that are part of the association. The university’s activities are also characterized in three areas: education, science, and relations with society. The difference is that the weights of some indicators have been changed and one new indicator has been added: “the number of joint scientific publications with BRICS partners.”
— NSU’s high positions in the BRICS university rankings are explained by several factors. First of all, this is the quality of education and scientific activity. A positive impact was exerted by the increase in the significance of such an indicator as “the number of victories of university students in international student Olympiads” (data on Olympiads were taken into account from 2019 to 2023). And also the addition of such a criterion as the number of scientific works in partnership with colleagues from BRICS countries to the new ranking. NSU is traditionally strong in international scientific ties, especially with the states that are part of this association. We currently have 126 partner universities in 24 countries of the world, more than 300 publications with foreign co-authors are published annually, — noted NSU Rector, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk.
A total of 24 Russian universities made it into the top hundred of the ranking. The highest positions were taken by Moscow State University (2nd place), St. Petersburg State University (5th place), Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (6th place), HSE (10th place) and MEPhI (15th place). Next come universities located in the regions, among which the leader is Novosibirsk State University (19th place), followed by Tomsk State University (36th place) and Ural Federal University (38th place).
The strongest point of Russian universities is the quality of education; 39 educational institutions in Russia were included in the top 100 universities according to this group of criteria, with 10 of them being in the top twenty.
