Editor's Notes

  1. Mostly talk about research. Sounds boring? Unique data – Mystery Shopped, International Students across countries. Handful of simple interventions Ahead of 80% of the World top 500 unis For students to come to you And for students to stay – more important – have a positive experience and will recommend.
  2. Mostly talk about research. Sounds boring? Less than a handful of simple interventions Ahead of 80% of the World top 500 unis For students to come to you And for students to stay – more important – have a positive experience and will recommend.
  3. Mathematicians in the room 38 countries 524 institutes total – any mathematicians in the room? 445 etp 38 countries Here graph with the world distribution of researched universities
  4. Lonneke – can you visualize this sheet? More than a hundred in each discipline.
  5. Who knows this feeling? Many options! Student feeling is much worse: - only a few tens of toothpaste and a few hundreds of colours. - Over 34,000 programmes! Hundreds in each discipline These options are all nicely lined up and visible. Have you ever considered how students are supposed to find the programme that matches them best. This is a frustration we are devoting ourselves to solving at studyportals. For those who do not know us yet… Cross border comparison – Result based promotion globally. Apart from overview and structure – our drive comes from better decisionmaking – frustration above EMPHASIZE STUDYPORTALS IS NOT ONLY THERE FOR THE TOP 500 – ALL UNIVERSITIES!
