On November 21, 2024, Khmelnytskyi National University was awarded "Reporter" status in the Times Higher Education Interdisciplinary Science Ranking 2025 in association with Schmidt Science Fellows. This is a significant achievement for our university, reflecting active steps towards international recognition and high-quality education.
This year, the ranking was conducted for the first time and included 749 universities from 92 countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Ukraine was represented by 25 universities in this prestigious ranking, and we are pleased to be among those keeping pace with the best higher education institutions in our country. "Reporter" status is the first stage on the path to full ranking. It signals that we are actively moving forward, working to enhance our scientific activities, particularly by increasing the number of scientific publications, which is key to achieving high rankings in the future.
The Global Interdisciplinary Science Ranking is the first attempt to assess universities' contributions to interdisciplinary science. The ranking includes 11 performance indicators to evaluate the activities of higher education institutions, covering scientific fields that are most in demand worldwide, including computer science, engineering, life sciences, and physical sciences.
The evaluation methodology was based on 157 million citations and 18 million scientific publications provided by the Elsevier Scopus database, covering 30,000 peer-reviewed journals published between 2019 and 2023. Additionally, responses from 20,000 scientists worldwide who contributed to data collection for this ranking were taken into account.
The ranking assesses university activities in three areas: input (funding and recruitment); process (rewards, incentives, material and technical base, and administrative support); and output (research quality).
