questionnaires completed by university representatives, available public data
posted by educational institutions on their websites, public data from
information resources of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, and
information from SPARK and SCAN information and analytical systems.
The overall ranking is based on an assessment of six parameters: education,
research, social environment, international and interregional cooperation,
innovation and entrepreneurship, and university brand.
