​¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ endorses the More Than Our Rank initiative via the Yerun-network
International rankings are an important reference point in higher education, but they capture only a fraction of what universities truly mean for their communities. The More Than Our Rank initiative highlights this broader perspective: universities are more than their position in a ranking list and deserve recognition for their societal, educational, and innovative impact.
¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ participates in the major rankings and is aware of both their advantages and their shortcomings. It is a member of the Young European Research Universities Network (Yerun), within which the initiative was endorsed in 2024. ​
