85% of students find university ranking as
important in their selection of institute to study
33% of students find university ranking as the
most important factor (number 1 factor, followed by 21% employer recognition, etc.)
The goal of the program is that by 2020 at least 5 Russian universities will be in the top 100 universities as denoted by QS World University ranking.
David Willets (former UK Universities & Science minister):
"We broadly accept the criteria used by the THE, which is why our policies are focused on the same areas."

Elsevier's position on university rankings and metrics in general
All rankings have their strengths and potential disadvantages and we do not rank the rankings!
? We believe in working on fundamentals with a "basket of indicators", always as a complement to peer opinion
? Informed decisions are better decisions ? Metrics should complement, not replace human judgment ? Well-selected metrics drive positive behaviors ? Metrics does not only mean bibliometrics ? Metrics can help monitor and eliminate biases ? Assessments are costly, but availability of new tools help bring
cost down ? Data sources to cover humanities are becoming more
complete
