The purpose of the U-Multirank is not to rank the world's universities in one common list, but to show their diversity. This is done by giving universities grades ranging from "A" (very good) to "E" (poor) in various fields of their activity (teaching and learning, research, internationalization, regional engagement) and allowing them to compare their results. The data used in U-Multirank are obtained from numerous sources (bibliometric databases, patent databases, questionnaires, etc.). This year's ranking included 1948 universities from around the world. Out of 40 domestic universities included in the U-Mulitrank, the Warsaw School of Economics and the SWPS University performed best.
U-Multirank was developed by an independent consortium led by the Centre for Higher Education (CHE) in Germany, the Center for Higher Education Policy Studies (CHEPS) of the University of Twente, and the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) of Leiden University.
