UMinho
The University of Minho has been moving up in the main international rankings, as can be seen in the most recent results from the Scimago Institutions Rankings and the Center for World University Rankings (CWUR).

In the Scimago ranking, UMinho is classed as 357th on a global level, climbing 200 places since 2010 and reinforcing its presence in the academic communities, in society and the economy. Since 2014, UMinho has gone up 76 places in international recognition, 42 places in publications, 39 places in citations and 12 places in patents, according to the CWUR.

The Scimago ranking assesses the research, innovation and social impact of 5147 higher education and R&D institutions in the world, using the volume of scientific publications and citations from the Scopus database as a reference. The ranking is currently led by Harvard University and includes 25 Portuguese universities in the top 700.

The CWUR highlights the 1000 best universities in the world. In its current edition, higher education institutions from 60 countries can be found, mainly from the United States (224 entries), China (90 entries) and Taiwan (21). Portugal is represented by six universities; UMinho, Universidade Nova de Lisboa and the Universities of Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra, and Aveiro. At the top of the list are the Universities of Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and the UK’s Cambridge and Oxford. The ranking evaluates the educational and training quality provided to students, the prestige of the institution’s members and the quality of research.

As such, UMinho cements its place as a higher education institution that stands out with world prestige. These accomplishments show how pertinent it is to invest in a realistic growth strategy with quality and international statement, which is followed by UMinho, thanks to the commitment of its members.
