Big changes are coming in 2025 for the Carnegie classifications for top-tier R1 research institutions! What does this mean for #hbcu research capacity? And why should #dod be paying attention? Read all about it in my new blog post! ⬇️

According to US News, Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the best graduate schools in America. I agree 😊 . Check out new top rankings in engineering: #5 overall, #1 in biomedical and industrial, and top 10 across the board. But also business, science, computing, social sciences... whatever you want to study, we have you covered!!! (As always, please note that rankings are very rough metrics of quality, based on varying criteria as defined by specific media groups... before choosing where to go to school, you need to do your own research and decide based on your own criteria!) https://lnkd.in/evDsQ77J

⭐ The QS World University Rankings 2025 is out! ⭐ TU9 Universities rank better then ever before. This year, 6 rank among the top 250 in the world 🌍 and among the best 15 in Germany - congratulations! 🎉 2 of them even made it amongst the TOP100 worldwide: TU München and RTWH Aachen! The QS Ranking 2025 is the largest ever, featuring over 1,500 universities across 106 higher education systems. The ranking takes the factors academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty student, citations per faculty, international faculty, international students, international research network, employment outcomes, and sustainability into consideration. ➡ https://lnkd.in/ey8BFugv #NaturalSciences #Engineering #UniversityRankings #QSWorldUniversityRankings #engineering #technology #naturalsciences #science #research #innovation #bestgermanuniversities RWTH Aachen University Technische Universität Berlin Technische Universität Braunschweig Technische Universität Darmstadt Technische Universität Dresden Leibniz Universität Hannover Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) Technical University of Munich University of Stuttgart

Texas Tech University System Ranks on Top 100 U.S. Universities Granted Utility Patents in 2023 ………………………………………………………………………………………………………   The Texas Tech University System has been recognized as one of the leading institutions in innovation and research, securing a spot in the National Academy of Inventors' (NAI) Top 100 U.S. Universities Granted U.S. Utility Patents for 2023. This prestigious ranking underscores the university system's commitment to fostering a culture of creativity and technological advancement. The NAI list celebrates universities that have made significant contributions to various fields through patented inventions. The TTU System’s inclusion in this list highlights its role as a major player in addressing global challenges through cutting-edge research and innovation. TTU System institutions receiving issued patents contributing to this ranking included Texas Tech University, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso. https://lnkd.in/g6S3V8jF #TTUSInvents, #innovation, #patents, #research, #university, #texastech

On top of those mentioned, such as #EDI, #AI, staff- student relations, #impacts, I would add #sustainableresearch as a hot topic for #PGRs, with more and more computing and digital tools used in a variety of disciplines (not only STEM), doing research sustainably is critical and part of the impacts of a PGR project #ukcgeac

Our 2nd webinar of this season was on the University of Austin (UATX) with Pano Kanelos. UATX is an experimental university in the truest sense of the word: the institution testing a new approach with the goal to become an example, the North Star, for others (hence Polaris on the logo). We will be following UATX to see if its innovations spread. My takeaways after the discussion: 1. Universities are places "where we do our thinking". Amen. 2. "Politics should be studied at the university, not be the operating system." In 1967, the University of Chicago issued the Kalven Report, arguing for universities' political neutrality "out of respect for free inquiry and the obligation to cherish a diversity of viewpoints". Perhaps, this is the standard the academia should strive for. Perhaps, not. What do you think? 3. Talking about diversity of viewpoints, UATX seeks intellectual pluralism, which they define not as diverse opinions held strongly, but rather as any opinions held lightly and ready to be updated if presented with new facts/arguments. 4. Just like countries, universities should have 3 branches of governance: legislative (the Board), executive (the management team), and judicial (the adjudicative panel analyzing cases of potential misconduct). 5. Conceptually, academic freedom is secondary to the academic obligation to seek the truth (this one is a part of Isak Frumin's reflection on the conversation). The pursuit of the truth can also be called, in the words of Pano Kanelos, "practical prudence", the phrase I plan to shamelessly steal and overuse. Godspeed to UATX which has welcomed its first cohort of Bachelor's students this fall, and we hope to see you all at the next #InnovativeUniversities Webinar on Thursday, October 10.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announced it will eliminate tuition next fall for undergraduate students from families earning under $200,000 annually, as part of efforts to improve access to higher education. Additionally, students from families earning below $100,000 will receive full coverage for housing, dining, fees, and allowances for books and personal expenses. MIT, a leading private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, ranks among the world’s top institutions. For the 2024-2025 academic year, tuition is approximately $62,000, with total annual costs, including housing and fees, nearing $86,000. This initiative aims to ease financial barriers for students and their families. Source: "M.I.T. to Offer Free Tuition to Families Earning Less Than $200,000," The New York Times, by Alexandra E.
