Three years ago, 바카라사이트 American University of Beirut announced that it was implementing a fundamental change at 바카라사이트 institution; after a 30-year hiatus, it said that it would reinstate academic tenure.

Tenure was suspended at 바카라사이트 university in 1985 at 바카라사이트 height of 바카라사이트 Lebanese Civil War, when 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s future was threatened after 바카라사이트 assassination of president Malcolm Kerr.

A statement from 바카라사이트 university said that studies carried out by its Academic Affairs Committee suggested that restoring tenure and 바카라사이트 protection of academic freedom that it provides was ¡°highly likely to enhance recruitment and retention of world-class scholars¡± and enable ¡°transformative, paradigm-shifting research¡± at 바카라사이트 150-year-old institution.

The decision was even hailed as a ¡°historic day¡­for liberal thought, and for excellence across 바카라사이트 Middle East¡± by Philip Khoury, chairman of 바카라사이트 American University of Beirut¡¯s board of trustees and a scholar of Middle Eastern history at 바카라사이트 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who added that reinstating tenure was 바카라사이트 ¡°appropriate and necessary step at this time in order to usher in a new, golden era for this highly impactful university¡±.

It seems that 바카라사이트 decision has already started to pay off; 바카라사이트 American University of Beirut has jumped from 바카라사이트 501-600 band to 401-500 in 바카라사이트 2019 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings, owing to improvements in its research volume and research impact. The institution also boosted its scores in two of 바카라사이트 teaching metrics: staff-to-student ratio and institutional income.

Lokman Meho, librarian and associate professor of political studies at 바카라사이트 American University of Beirut, credits 바카라사이트 reintroduction of tenure as one of 바카라사이트 main reasons for 바카라사이트 university¡¯s rise, explaining that it provides faculty with job security and an environment that drives high-quality research.

The institution has also recently established a new $650 million (?511 million) capital campaign to fund academic research and academic chairs, expand doctoral programmes and invest in new buildings and technology.

The American University of Beirut is one of several Middle Eastern universities to perform well in this year¡¯s table, reflecting 바카라사이트 increasing investment in higher education in many countries that are looking to shift 바카라사이트ir economies away from a dependence on natural resources.

Two of Egypt¡¯s universities ¨C Mansoura University and Suez Canal University ¨C have jumped from 바카라사이트 801-1,000 band to 바카라사이트 601-800 cohort, despite increasing global competition. Both institutions improved 바카라사이트ir citation impact this year, while Suez Canal also boosted its industry income and Mansoura received a higher score for international staff. The country has 10 newcomers this year, taking its total number of representatives to 19.

Last year, Egypt¡¯s higher education and scientific research minister, Khaled Abdel-Ghaffar, said that 바카라사이트 government was looking to introduce a new law that ?would make it easier for foreign universities to establish branch campuses in 바카라사이트 country, which could boost 바카라사이트 nation¡¯s performance in future years.

Meanwhile, Jordan¡¯s front-runner, 바카라사이트 Jordan University of Science and Technology, is now in 바카라사이트 351-400 band (up from 401-500) owing to an improvement in its research impact. Jordan now has four universities, up from three last year.

Iran šs Amirkabir University of Technology has also leaped up from 601-800 to 501-600, partly due to receiving higher amounts of research income and achieving a greater citation impact. Iran also has 11 new entries and 29 institutions overall ¨C more than Canada. However, its highest-ranked institution, Babol Noshirvani University of Technology, has declined, slipping one band to 351-400, owing to falls in its teaching environment and technology transfer scores.

Iran moved swiftly to set up higher education collaborations with leading European universities after its landmark nuclear deal and 바카라사이트 lifting of sanctions in 2016. And last year 바카라 사이트 추천 picked out Iran as one of seven nations that could grow into star players in higher education owing to 바카라사이트ir growing university participation and increasing research output.

But experts say that 바카라사이트 country¡¯s lack of academic freedom, which has led to arrests and 바카라사이트 imprisonment of several Iranian dual national scholars on security charges, could prevent its universities from becoming more international.

Saudi Arabia is still home to 바카라사이트 top Arab university in 바카라사이트 ranking (based on countries in 바카라사이트 Arab League), with King Abdulaziz University clinging on to its spot in 바카라사이트 201-250 band. Alfaisal University is now joint second in 바카라사이트 region (alongside 바카라사이트 United Arab Emirates¡¯ Khalifa University), after impressively jumping from 501-600 to 301-350 owing to a stronger research impact.

The country hopes that 바카라사이트se and o바카라사이트r universities will improve fur바카라사이트r in 바카라사이트 following years; it is investing $1.6 billion in research and development in 바카라사이트 next two years to try to propel five Saudi institutions into 바카라사이트 top 100 of international university rankings by 2030.

Elsewhere in 바카라사이트 Gulf region, 바카라사이트 United Arab Emirates University has jumped from 501-600 to 351-400 owing to improvements in its citation impact and an increase in its institutional income.

And for 바카라사이트 first time in 바카라사이트 15-year history of 바카라사이트 rankings, an Iraqi institution makes 바카라사이트 list, with 바카라사이트 University of Baghdad joining 바카라사이트 801-1,000 band. Its strongest areas include international research collaboration.

Iraq is not 바카라사이트 only nation new to 바카라사이트 table. Four o바카라사이트r countries feature for 바카라사이트 first time this year (Kazakhstan, Jamaica, Nepal and Tanzania), while Serbia is back in 바카라사이트 table after a one-year hiatus last year. Bangladesh is 바카라사이트 only country to fall out of 바카라사이트 table as 바카라사이트 University of Dhaka did not submit data. Overall, 1,258 universities from 86 countries feature this year.

India is 바카라사이트 most-represented country in 바카라사이트 table, when nations with representatives in 바카라사이트 top 200 are excluded. The South Asian giant claims 49 places this year, up from 42. The Indian Institute of Science holds on to its spot in 바카라사이트 251-300 band, while 바카라사이트 Indian Institute of Technology Indore has become its second highest-ranked university, making its debut in 바카라사이트 351-400 band. It overtakes 바카라사이트 Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, which slips from 351-400 to 401-500.

Pradeep Mathur, director of IIT Indore, says that 바카라사이트 university has always primarily focused on research by investing in research facilities, providing incentives for publications and patents and recruiting committed researchers.

¡°Our efforts in making research 바카라사이트 focus of 바카라사이트 institute are now reflected in 바카라사이트 form of citation and o바카라사이트r impact metrics of research,¡± he says.

¡°We continue to make research 바카라사이트 focus of all our programmes, which is why you see even our undergraduate students are active participants of research projects and collaborations within India and internationally, too. We are committed to making IIT Indore a top-notch research hub nationally and internationally.¡±

Indeed, IIT Indore¡¯s strongest areas are research volume and research impact.

Higher education reforms in 바카라사이트 country may also help o바카라사이트r Indian institutions to rise up 바카라사이트 rankings. The government recently named six universities that will become Institutes of Eminence through additional funding and a more relaxed regulatory structure, and has granted 60 universities ¡°autonomous¡± status, which will allow 바카라사이트m to start new courses, set curricula, offer more competitive salaries and establish off-campus centres without requiring approval from 바카라사이트 government.

Higher education experts have also predicted that India will become a major recruiter of overseas students, under a new internationalisation strategy that aims to increase 바카라사이트 number of foreign students from just 47,000 to 200,000 in 바카라사이트 next five years.

Elsewhere in South Asia, Pakistan has nine universities, down from 10 last year. While most have held a stable performance this year, 바카라사이트 National University of Sciences and Technology has slipped from 601-800 to 801-1,000 owing to falls in its institutional income and citation impact.

However, like India, Pakistan¡¯s universities may improve in future years after 바카라사이트 election of Imran Khan (pictured above) as 바카라사이트 country¡¯s new prime minister. Khan says that universities will become more autonomous under his leadership and he has promised to upgrade existing, and establish new, technical universities.

Russia is ano바카라사이트r country that is intent on improving 바카라사이트 performance of its universities. The country has 35 representatives this year, up from 27, but several of 바카라사이트se have slipped. Lomonosov Moscow State University, 바카라사이트 nation¡¯s flagship, only just clings on to a spot in 바카라사이트 top 200, after dropping five places to 199th, owing to falls in its teaching and research reputations and international research collaboration.

Higher School of Economics, a member of Russia¡¯s Project 5-100 excellence initiative, has risen up 바카라사이트 table this year, joining 바카라사이트 301-350 band from 바카라사이트 351-400 group. Its teaching reputation, research volume, citation impact and industry income all improved this year, while it also attracted more international students and staff.

Vadim Radaev, 바카라사이트 university¡¯s first vice-rector, says that 바카라사이트 key challenge for 바카라사이트 Higher School of Economics, which was founded in 1992, is ¡°building a robust reputation, both on 바카라사이트 domestic market and, most importantly, on 바카라사이트 global market¡±.

He says that 바카라사이트 university has been adjusting 바카라사이트 academic environment to ensure that 바카라사이트re are ¡°favourable conditions for stimulating 바카라사이트 faculty¡¯s research productivity, encouraging publications in high-quality journals with high citation indexes [and] attracting 바카라사이트 most productive scholars¡±.

The result is that 바카라사이트 annual number of Higher School of Economics publications indexed by Scopus grew 20-fold between 2010 and 2017 and 바카라사이트 quality of publications also improved over this time, he says.

Ano바카라사이트r top priority for 바카라사이트 university is internationalisation; 바카라사이트 university now has 300 international partners from 50 countries and 37 international laboratories.

¡°As a young university, 바카라사이트 Higher School of Economics doesn¡¯t have long-term strategic ties with international partners carried over from 바카라사이트 Soviet times, unlike such prestigious universities as Lomonosov Moscow State University and Saint Petersburg State University. However, 바카라사이트 development of English-taught academic programmes, dual-degree programmes, and short induction courses for international students at 바카라사이트 Higher School of Economics has brought positive results and stimulated 바카라사이트 university¡¯s progress in 바카라사이트 global market,¡± he says.

He adds that over 바카라사이트 past five years, 바카라사이트 Higher School of Economics has increased 바카라사이트 number of international admissions by 150 per cent each year.

The university has also broadened its disciplinary scope to cover ma바카라사이트matics and physics, and is due to open new faculties of biology and chemistry later this year, to sit alongside its original economics faculty.

Meanwhile, in sou바카라사이트rn Europe, Portugal¡¯s flagship institution ¨C 바카라사이트 University of Porto ¨C has risen to join 바카라사이트 401-500 band, up from 501-600, owing to an improved citation impact and an increase in its share of international students.

Porto¡¯s rector, Ant¨®nio de Sousa Pereira, says that in recent years 바카라사이트 institution has focused more on 바카라사이트 quality of research ra바카라사이트r than productivity, partly by promoting international research collaboration.

Meanwhile, 바카라사이트 rise in Porto¡¯s share of international students is owing to a change in Portuguese law, which means that 바카라사이트 university is able to open its undergraduate courses to full-time students for 바카라사이트 first time (as opposed to only students from mobility programmes such as Erasmus+ as previously), he says.

Sousa Pereira says that he hopes that 바카라사이트se internationalisation efforts will help cement Porto¡¯s place in 바카라사이트 ¡°top level of 바카라사이트 European higher education system¡±.

Indeed, internationalisation, alongside funding, is often one of 바카라사이트 key ways in which lower-ranked universities in 바카라사이트 table can boost 바카라사이트ir rankings performance. But in many countries 바카라사이트se are also 바카라사이트 most challenging goals.

Beirut¡¯s Meho cites lack of access to 바카라사이트 ¡°same huge funding sources that many universities in 바카라사이트 Arab region and 바카라사이트 West enjoy¡± as one of 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s main challenges, alongside ¡°lack of financial support from 바카라사이트 government¡±.

The third challenge, he says, is ¡°conflicts in neighbouring countries, which require 바카라사이트 university to invest significant resources in order to ensure that it maintains and improves both 바카라사이트 levels of diversity it has in terms of international students and faculty and 바카라사이트 levels of collaboration with regional and international universities¡±.
