VSTU ONCE AGAIN STRENGTHENS ITS POSITION IN THE WORLD IMPACT RANKINGS

For the third year in a row, Voronezh State Technical University has been participating in the prestigious world university rankings of the British publication Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, dedicated to assessing the impact of universities on the process of implementing sustainable development goals.

Despite the fact that this year the number of participating universities has increased significantly, VSTU continues to be included in all 17 areas of the university impact rating and shows a significant increase in indicators for most sustainable development goals, even in the face of greater competition. Times Higher Education experts note the special achievements of VSTU in terms of the following indicators: «Eradication of poverty» (301-400 place), «Elimination of hunger» (301-400), «Sustainable cities and towns» (401-600 place), «Industrialization, innovation and infrastructure» (301-400 place). The Sustainable Development Goals are a call to action from all countries to improve prosperity and protect our planet.

The methodology of THE Impact Rankings is based on the analysis of the following areas of activity of universities: research that solves the most pressing global problems; socially oriented programs - the direct activity of the university in society; resource management, the contribution of the university to education in a broad sense.

In the 2023 ranking, researchers from the British publication Times Higher Education included 1,591 universities from 112 countries, including 86 Russian universities
