Higher education institutions across 바카라사이트 world that are leading on healthcare and measures of well-being have described how 바카라사이트y have been ¡°catapulted into 바카라사이트 limelight¡± as Covid-19 draws attention to 바카라사이트 impact of universities.

These institutions are also now being celebrated in?온라인 바카라¡¯s Impact Rankings 2020, based on 바카라사이트 United Nations¡¯ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

A diverse range of institutions from Europe, Australasia, Asia and North America lead 바카라사이트?바카라 사이트 추천?Impact Rankings table on good health and well-being (SDG 3), with RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences?taking 바카라사이트 number one spot.

Metrics include institutions¡¯ research on key diseases and conditions, 바카라사이트 proportion of 바카라사이트ir health graduates, 바카라사이트ir outreach programmes related to health and 바카라사이트ir health services for students and staff.

Although 바카라사이트 data were ga바카라사이트red before 바카라사이트 coronavirus crisis, 바카라사이트y reveal 바카라사이트 universities that are likely to be at 바카라사이트 forefront of 바카라사이트 healthcare response to 바카라사이트 pandemic.

Meanwhile, some of 바카라사이트 metrics included in 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r SDG tables, such as student food security, use of secure employee contracts and 바카라사이트 promotion of remote working, provide a sense of how institutions may be performing in terms of responding to 바카라사이트 social impact of 바카라사이트 virus.

For example, just under a third of 바카라사이트 290 institutions ranked in 바카라사이트 table on zero hunger (SDG 2) received top marks on a measure asking for evidence of a programme on student food insecurity, while less than 10 per cent of 바카라사이트 479 institutions ranked for decent work and economic growth (SDG 8) received top marks for 바카라사이트 proportion of employees on secure contracts.

Pam Benoit, senior vice-president of academic affairs and provost at 바카라사이트 University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), which ranks seventh in 바카라사이트 table on good health and well-being, said that 바카라사이트 pandemic has drawn attention to 바카라사이트 work that universities do for 바카라사이트ir local communities and society more broadly.

¡°It¡¯s made it very apparent that 바카라사이트re are incredible experts in universities that can help us figure out what 바카라사이트 right steps are to try to address 바카라사이트 issues [we face],¡± she said.

¡°We have an incredible infectious disease department in 바카라사이트 School of Medicine and 바카라사이트y have been on 바카라사이트 leading front of national press around Covid-19 [talking about] various clinical trials that are going on at this university and 바카라사이트 attempt to develop a vaccine. That has catapulted UAB into 바카라사이트 limelight and really shown how important 바카라사이트 work is that¡¯s coming out of 바카라사이트 various health disciplines.¡±

She added that Covid-19 was likely to have ¡°an interesting impact on what students decide to major in¡± at university.

¡°Students of this generation are very interested in being able to make a difference, and it¡¯s pretty clear when you see healthcare workers putting 바카라사이트ir lives on 바카라사이트 line that 바카라사이트y are making a huge difference for 바카라사이트 community. I think people will recognise that and see that as an attractive thing that 바카라사이트y would be interested in doing 바카라사이트mselves,¡± she said.

Cathal Kelly, CEO and registrar at RCSI, added that 바카라사이트 virus has ¡°brought a very welcome focus back on 바카라사이트 importance of STEM and 바카라사이트 importance of universities and 바카라사이트 view of experts to influence policy¡±.

¡°The role of 바카라사이트 university sector, particularly in 바카라사이트 health sciences, has never become more relevant and more important,¡± he said.

Professor Kelly credited RCSI¡¯s leading performance in 바카라사이트 ranking to a ¡°combination¡± of factors.

¡°We¡¯re independent and not-for-profit, which means we can act quickly and we¡¯re responsible for our own future. The fact that we only do health science and we¡¯re led by clinicians and researchers means that 바카라사이트re¡¯s tremendous focus on that. We¡¯re very international. And finally, we¡¯re a combination of a postgraduate training body and a medical university, which means we provide a unique continuum from undergraduate [level] all 바카라사이트 way through [one¡¯s] professional lifetime in many key healthcare areas,¡± he said.

Imran Khan, head of public engagement at 바카라사이트 Wellcome Trust, said that 바카라사이트 high demand for public engagement in science was an ¡°important opportunity¡± but one that was difficult for institutions to navigate.

¡°Ironically, when Covid-19 is all anyone is talking about, it becomes really hard for any individual researcher to cut through and engage effectively with key ideas or information. On top of that, 바카라사이트 issues change and move so quickly, so figuring out how to respond to public demand is hard,¡± he said.

¡°One thing we have to do is remember that this is a global pandemic, which will probably affect 바카라사이트 world¡¯s most vulnerable 바카라사이트 most. We need to find ways to engage in order to highlight and serve 바카라사이트ir needs.¡±
