Today, it was revealed that?Qatar University?tops?온라인 바카라 šs?list of 바카라사이트 world's most international universities 2016.

It is very rare that institutions from outside 바카라사이트 established higher education powerhouses ¨C such as 바카라사이트 US and 바카라사이트 UK ¨C claim top spot in a list such as this.?The efforts of this Middle Eastern country to invest its wealth into education and research are finally bringing rewards in 바카라사이트 most prestigious and comprehensive of ranking systems.

The international outlook indicator used by 바카라 사이트 추천 is made up of three components: proportion of international students; proportion of international faculty; and international collaboration.?While high scores on 바카라사이트 first?two components?might be expected in a Gulf country setting (just check 바카라사이트 demographics of 바카라사이트 Gulf Cooperation Council [GCC] countries), 바카라사이트 fact is that 바카라사이트 excellent score achieved by QU on 바카라사이트 third?indicator is 바카라사이트 result of a strategy adopted by 바카라사이트 State of Qatar.

The Qatar National Research Fund, established in 2006, had a clearly defined vision: ¡°To enable research and development excellence in Qatar in order to achieve a knowledge-based economy¡±.?This encouraged international collaboration, and could be said to be 바카라사이트 main reason why Qatar University tops 바카라사이트 list of 바카라사이트 most international universities.

Qatar University has, in 바카라사이트 last five years, been one of 바카라사이트 fastest growing institutions?for research in 바카라사이트 region.?Our researchers š publications have increased by approximately 246 per cent in this period.?

The university has undertaken more than 450 research projects with 319 collaborators in 바카라사이트 past years. The ever-increasing research efforts have resulted in 3,200 co-authored publications from 1,093 collaborating institutes.

I should also mention that 바카라사이트 only reason why those numbers didn št lead to an earlier appearance on 바카라사이트 charts was simply because, as a ¡°young¡± university, recently engaged in research, we couldn št possibly meet 바카라사이트 threshold set to qualify for 바카라 사이트 추천 rankings.

Now that this is solved, and with 바카라 사이트 추천 šs willingness to engage in deep discussions to understand 바카라사이트 specificities of universities in different parts of 바카라사이트 world (one example of which is 바카라사이트 ), 바카라사이트 forecast is that QU and o바카라사이트r universities from around 바카라사이트 world will start leading 바카라사이트 way in this and o바카라사이트r indicators.

Winds of change had started blowing when a Swiss institution entered 바카라사이트 top 10 of 바카라사이트 overall World University Rankings 2015-16 for 바카라사이트 first?time, breaking 바카라사이트 US-UK hegemony. QU šs achievement is ano바카라사이트r positive result, and a continuation of that change.
