University rankings

Postby jamescfm » Wed Jul 15, 2020 12:48 pm

I thought it might be interesting to create an in-character organisation that ranks international universities, similar to the real life THE World University Rankings. I don't intend to make a league table or to be too specific about the position of particular institutions, however I would like to be able to say things like "this country has x number of universities in the global top 100" or whatever.

For this reason it would be great if players could provide a short list (no more than ten) of the top universities in their respective countries based on research, teaching, prestige etc. If you are able to link to a wiki page or forum post mentioning the institutions then this would be helpful too.

Thanks for those who have shared so far. Just a note that if you have named multiple institutions, you may want to rank them or identify a couple that should be ranked the highest. Without this information, I'll just make a determination myself.
