So, in the section “Innovation/Entrepreneurship” the university rose to the 25th–26th place, in the section “Brand” – to the 30th–31st place, and in the section “Research” – to the 45th place.
For reference:
The National University Ranking (NUR) project has been implemented by the Interfax Group since 2010. Its goals are assessing activities of a modern Russian university that meets international standards; developing a communication channel between the country’s academic community, mass audiences and business; searching for new methods and technologies for assessing activities of institutions in the field of education, research and development, innovative and socio-humanitarian development.
The assessment was carried out, based on processing the data from questionnaires submitted by universities, available public data posted by educational institutions on their websites, public data from the information resources of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, as well as the data from the information and analytical systems “SPARK-Interfax” and “SCAN-Interfax”.
