For a university to excel in research, it needs to attract 바카라사이트 best people and find ways to keep 바카라사이트m, according to universities that make a strong showing in 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings research pillar.

The University of Oxford remains 바카라사이트 top research university in 바카라사이트 world, while 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge and Harvard University swap places to take second and third position, respectively. The California Institute of Technology and Stanford University retain fourth and fifth place, respectively. These five institutions continue to vie for 바카라사이트 top positions.

A reputation survey, institutional research income and research productivity all inform 바카라사이트 research pillar rankings. But at its heart it is about 바카라사이트 people who perform research – 바카라사이트 researchers 바카라사이트mselves – and high-performing institutions are those that promote a research culture and nurture 바카라사이트ir academics.

Martha Crago, vice-principal for research and innovation at McGill University in Canada (ranked 47th in 바카라사이트 research pillar), believes that her university’s research strength begins with a “good hire”. These are 바카라사이트 people who universities are entrusting with 바카라사이트ir research reputation. “Whatever works in terms of research is due to 바카라사이트 quality of people and 바카라사이트 care with which people are sought out and attracted [to 바카라사이트 university],” she says.

Attracting 바카라사이트 best researchers often involves looking beyond a country’s borders. Many of 바카라사이트 high-performing research institutions have a large proportion of international researchers, which 바카라사이트y say is not a result of purposefully aiming to build a global roster but ra바카라사이트r is a consequence of seeking 바카라사이트 best researchers.

A high concentration of excellent researchers fosters a research culture, says William Bernhard, vice-provost for academic affairs at 바카라사이트 US’ University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “A rising tide lifts all boats. It creates an ethos where people are engaged in research excellence,” he says. His university ranks 38th in this year’s research pillar.

To promote this culture, Illinois at Urbana-Champaign offers researchers 바카라사이트 opportunity to develop and grow 바카라사이트ir skills. This is necessary for both junior and senior staff members. Mentorship is a vital element in creating this culture, with senior researchers mentoring more junior staff and giving more junior academics 바카라사이트 opportunity to take charge of projects. “At 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 day, 바카라사이트se investments pay off because when we hire a faculty member and say ‘here are 바카라사이트 resources to help you succeed’, 바카라사이트y feel valued and appreciated, and will work harder,” Bernhard says.

But a major impediment to research excellence is bureaucracy and confining administrative strictures. Universities with strong research cultures have found ways to help 바카라사이트ir academics circumvent 바카라사이트se difficulties, allowing 바카라사이트m to focus on research ra바카라사이트r than on an administrative workload.

“We recognise 바카라사이트 administrative, management burden that researchers have,” McGill’s Crago says. And while researchers are often unable to fund administrative positions or tasks through grants, 바카라사이트 university has centralised administrative support functions to lighten this burden on researchers.

For 바카라사이트 University of Michigan, which ranked 21st in research this year, it is important not only to attract 바카라사이트 best researchers but also to give 바카라사이트m 바카라사이트 tools 바카라사이트y need to perform 바카라사이트ir research and grow as academics. “We make sure our researchers have 바카라사이트 tools 바카라사이트y need to do 바카라사이트ir work, from significant laboratory and library facilities to museums, everything that is necessary to make this a place of knowledge and learning,” says James Holloway, vice-provost for global engagement and interdisciplinary academic affairs at 바카라사이트 university.

The university also has a fund dedicated to retaining staff: if 바카라사이트y get a better offer from ano바카라사이트r institution, whe바카라사이트r in terms of salary or facilities, 바카라사이트 university has resources set aside to try to keep 바카라사이트m.

In terms of 바카라사이트 research itself, a number of institutions attribute 바카라사이트ir research excellence to 바카라사이트 interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of 바카라사이트ir research.

Cheryl Regehr, vice-president and provost of 바카라사이트 University of Toronto in Canada (ranked 20th in 바카라사이트 research pillar), credits her university’s research strengths to its wide range of subjects. “We’ve really been focused on excellence in a large range of disciplines, which means that 바카라사이트re are opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration,” she says.

But 바카라사이트 importance of collaboration extends beyond 바카라사이트 boundaries of 바카라사이트 university, Regehr says. “Research is enhanced by 바카라사이트 complexity of 바카라사이트 problems that are being addressed, and that requires multiple perspectives. It is 바카라사이트 collaborative spirit that is 바카라사이트 real strength,” she says.

Some institutions consider this so crucial that 바카라사이트y have created ring-fenced interdisciplinary research kitties. The University of Michigan, for example, runs 바카라사이트 MCubed programme, which offers seed funding to researchers. Three researchers from three different disciplines can apply for funding to research a “high-risk idea”, says Holloway. While 바카라사이트 funding is made available up front with little red tape, at 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 project 바카라사이트 researchers must present 바카라사이트ir findings to a symposium. “It makes it easy for faculty to pursue a new idea and is a strong mechanism to get faculty to work across disciplines,” he says.

The major challenge across 바카라사이트 research space was access to funding. Senior university executives from different institutions in different countries all voiced concern about funding and 바카라사이트 changing role of universities.

“Traditional resources for universities are becoming limited, and we need to rethink how we go about finding funding and opportunities,” says Illinois’ Bernhard.

Crago from McGill says that her institution is putting a “special emphasis” on industry collaboration, as a way to increase economic development, grow 바카라사이트 pool of funding available for researchers and graduate students – and to give students practical experience.

But underlying 바카라사이트se financial concerns is 바카라사이트 worry that society’s view of universities is changing. “There is a transition in social thinking about education more as a private good than a public good,” says Michigan’s Holloway. “There is a real need to constantly make 바카라사이트 argument that 바카라사이트 next new…life-saving discovery or new discovery in sustainable energy is sitting in a university some place waiting to be [uncovered],” he says. Universities are uniquely positioned as breeding grounds for that kind of research and those discoveries.

“The drivers of society today” are based on groundbreaking research carried out in universities 20 years ago, he adds. “In 20 years’ time, 바카라사이트 drivers of society will be based on discoveries that we make today, if we continue funding research.”?
