The document discusses the purpose, methodology, results, and future efforts of the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). The key points are:
1. ARWU was created to evaluate the position of Chinese universities globally and measure the gap to becoming world-class universities, which has been a goal of Chinese higher education initiatives.
2. The methodology uses objective data on alumni winning Nobel Prizes, highly cited researchers, papers in Nature and Science, and other indicators to rank over 1000 universities worldwide.
3. Results have shown the top 500 universities since 2003 and have identified rankings by region, country, and fields of study. Limitations include not representing all university functions and sizes equally.

Apaie 2018 - Sharing Data for Successful Collaborations Across InstitutionsKeri Ramirez
How can institutions use their data to collaborate and enhance their outbound mobility strategies?
In this session, we will share the successful journey experienced by 7 leading institutions from around the globe to effectively count and benchmark more than 10,000 international student experiences across institutions in order to improve their outbound mobility strategies. The presentation will provide a rare insight in the world’s largest mobility programs and how they are managed and promoted. In this session, the presenters will outline the benchmark findings in the areas of student demographics, learning program types, access to student mobility programs, program management and funding and support to increase participation in learning abroad programs. Finally we will describe how sharing data will assist institutions to enhance their already successful strategies.
This session will be of value to delegates who have already had experience in promoting and managing study mobility and learning abroad programs and whose role it is to influence future policies and strategies in this area.

Reform of the higher education system by 2020 - Vietnam expects its higher education system to be advanced by modern standards and highly competitive in international terms:
administration,
finance,
improve quality,
autonomy and accountability
The emerging education market in Vietnam is attracting interest from foreign higher education institutions and investors.
Increasing disposable income, rapid urbanization, and rising living standards are driving local demand for advanced education.
At the same time, a shortage of quality local universities, and a substantial increase in the number of school age children make the sector ripe for investment.
The Vietnamese government has acknowledged shortcomings in the current education system and recently changed its tone on foreign participation in local education.
Efforts are afoot to pave the way for foreign investment, evidenced most recently by the introduction of concrete proposals to soften existing restrictions on foreign investment into the sector.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

Higher education in the Asia-Pacific: what does the next twenty years hold?
Higher education in the Asia-Pacific has undergone a dramatic transformation over the last two decades. Rapid rates of economic growth and favourable demographics have fuelled the demand for higher education, with large numbers of students forced to study overseas by the shortage of university places at home. Universities in the countries like the UK and Australia have become increasingly financially dependent on full fee-paying Asian students. In the last decade, the supply-side in Asia has begun to respond strongly, with an expansion in the number of universities and, as a matter of government policy, focused investment across a number of countries in developing an elite of ‘world-class universities’. Asian universities are beginning to assert themselves, but the demand for higher education continues to outstrip supply across the region. This presentation seeks to extrapolate these trends to explore the landscape of higher education in the Asia-Pacific in 2030.

1. Academic Ranking of World Universities :
Purpose, Methods and Future Efforts
Presented By Dr. Ying CHENG
Graduate School of Education, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China
Observatoire des Sciences et des Techniques (OST), France

4. Dream of Chinese for WCU
World-class university (WCU) is a dream for
generations of Chinese. It’s not only for pride, but also
for the future of China.
Since 1990s, Chinese government has launched several
initiatives for research universities. The best-known one
is specially designed to build WCU (985 Project).
4
5. Goals of Top Chinese Universities
Many top Chinese universities have setup their
strategic goals as WCU.
Most of them have also set time tables for
reaching the goal of WCU. For example:
2016 for Peking University
2020 for Tsinghua University
5
6. Questions About WCU
What is WCU?
How many WCU should there be in the world?
What are the positions of top Chinese
universities in the world?
How can Chinese universities improve
themselves to reach the goal of WCU?
6
7. Academic Ranking of World Universities
(ARWU)
Our original purpose of doing the Academic
Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) was to
find out the position of Chinese universities in
the world and the gap between them and WCU.
ARWU was put on the internet upon the
encouragement of colleagues from all over the
world.
7
8. Features of ARWU
ARWU uses a few internationally comparable, objective
criteria and publicly accessible data that everyone could
verify in some way.
It has been carried out by a ranking team (chaired by
Professor Nian Cai LIU) in the Graduate School of
Education of Shanghai Jiao Tong University for their
academic interests.
It has been done independently without any financial
support from any sources outside.
8
10. Selection of Universities
Any university that has any Nobel Laureates, Fields Medals,
Highly Cited Researchers, or papers published in Nature or
Science.
Major universities of every country with significant amount of
papers indexed by Citation Indexes of Thomson.
Number of universities scanned: >2000
Number of universities actually ranked: >1000
Number of ranked universities on our web: 500

17. Problems and Limitations of ARWU
Other functions are not well taken into account
Education
Social service
Diversity of universities may not be properly
reflected
Disciplinary characteristics, such as those do very well
in social science and humanities
Size, big is beautiful?
Technical problems
17
20. Update ARWU Annually
In order to observe changes of Universities
In order to monitor countries’ performance
Serve as the basis of related academic studies and
policy analysis
20
21. Provide Different Rankings
Ranking by per capita performance
Based on reliable and international comparable
data of academic staff
Ranking of universities specialized or strong
in engineering, medicine, etc.
Based on the classification of world universities
21
22. Establish Database of WCU
Basic profiles
Students, staff, programs, budget, …
Strategic indicators
R&D expenditure, publications and citations,
international academic awards, …
Data at college/department or discipline level
22
23. Publish Annual or Biennial Report
on World-Class Universities
Not limited to top 100 but may include 500 or
more research universities
Provide internationally comparable indicators
as many as possible
Perform detailed data analysis rather than a
composite ranking
2009 ?
23
25. Controversy of Ranking
Any ranking is controversial and no ranking is
absolutely objective.
University rankings become popular in many
countries. Whether we agree or not, ranking systems
clearly are here to stay.
The key issue then becomes
For rankers: how to improve ranking systems?
For users: how to wisely use the rankings?
25
26. Use of Ranking
Rankings are information tools for different purpose.
Rankings should be used with cautions. Their
methodologies must be read carefully before
reporting or using their results.
For any kind of decision-making, rankings should be
used only as a starting point and comprehensive
analysis are always necessary
26
