NTNU’s percentage of the sector in 2016
International rankings Center for World University Rankings No. 267 in the world (Oct 2017) CWUR QS World University Rankings No. 259 in the world (June 2017) QS Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) In group 251-300 in the world (Sept. 2017) THES Academic Ranking of World Universities (Jia Tong) In group 101-150 in the world (Aug. 2017) Shanghai 7 5 3 9 An international panel established by the Research Council of Norway concluded in 2015 that Norway has two technology environments at the world’s top level, both at NTNU – Structural Impact Laboratory (SIMLab) and Marine Structures. In March 2017 THES published an overview showing that NTNU has the most productive institutional collaboration in the world, due to the close teamwork with SINTEF. THES is regarded as the best and most prestigious ranking. In research and education, “reputation” makes up 33% of the score for each university. The results are based on a survey of 17 500 academics from all over the world. NTNU has a poor score in this reputation survey. If we had done as well here as the number of research citations would suggest, calculations show that we would have ended up in group number 135–140 in the world.
