Views of incluD-ed on the new international university ranking, U-Multirank |
|
|

|
|
U-Multirank, a new university ranking system set up with European funding, has been publicly launched under the Irish EU Presidency in Dublin on 30 January. incluD-ed fully supports the good intentions and the engagement in this field shown by the European Commission. However, incluD-ed is concerned about several other aspects of U-Multirank and has sent a position paper to Androulla Vassiliou, the European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, and to the CHERPA network, which is responsible for the design and implementation of the ranking.
