EUC among world’s top 201+ universities for Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

For the fourth consecutive year, the European University Cyprus (EUC) has been ranked among the top 201+ universities in the world in the 2023 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.

The 2023 Impact Rankings is the fifth edition, and the overall ranking includes 1,591 universities from 112 countries/regions.

The Times Higher Education Impact Rankings assess universities annually in a range of categories based on the Sustainable Development Goals set by the UN until 2030. As a commitment to sustainability is a prerequisite for global higher education institutions, this ranking highlights the social actions of universities at all levels – on campus, in their local environment and beyond.

European University Cyprus consistently excels in the Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure category for its performance in innovation research, its social contribution to industry, and the creation of spin-off companies, an announcement from the university noted.

European University Cyprus is part of Galileo Global Education, Europe's largest educational group with a network of 54 institutions around the world. The University operates the most advanced Medical School in the Eastern Mediterranean region and has a comprehensive selection of studies in the fields of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences.

In 2022, the European University Cyprus operated a branch of its Medical School in Frankfurt, Germany, which is fully accredited by the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME).

Western Sydney University topped this year’s ranking with Canadian universities occupy four spots in the top 10 – Queen’s University (third), the University of Alberta (joint seventh), the University of Victoria and Western University (both in joint ninth).

The UK’s University of Manchester is second in the ranking, making it the top European institution, with Denmark’s Aalborg University in joint ninth place in the overall table of more than 1,500 universities.

Universities can submit data to be measured against any of the goals, and any university that provides data on SDG 17 (partnerships for the goals) and at least three other SDGs is included in the overall ranking. A university’s total score in a given year is calculated by combining its score in SDG 17 with its top three scores out of the remaining SDGs.

The score for the overall ranking is an average of institutions’ total scores over the past two years.
