Universitas 21, a leading global network of research
universities, has developed the ranking as a benchmark for governments,
education institutions and individuals. It aims to highlight the
importance of creating a strong environment for higher education
institutions to contribute to economic and cultural development, provide
a high-quality experience for students and help institutions compete
for overseas applicants.
Research authors at the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and
Social Research, University of Melbourne, looked at the most recent data
from 48 countries across 20 different measures. The range of measures
is grouped under four headings: resources (investment by government and
private sector), output (research and its impact, as well as the
production of an educated workforce which meets labour market needs),
connectivity (international networks and collaboration which protects a
system against insularity) and environment (government policy and
regulation, diversity and participation opportunities). Population size
is accounted for in the calculations.
