RUDN University – in TOP 200 of the Times Higher Education Emerging Economies University Rankings 2020
The Times Higher Education Emerging Economies University Rankings is based on 13 performance indicators, grouped into five areas: Teaching (the learning environment); Research (volume, income and reputation); Citations (research influence); International outlook (staff, students and research); and Industry income (knowledge transfer).
The Times Higher Education World University Rankings are the only global performance tables that judge research-intensive universities across all their core missions: teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. THE Emerging Economies University Rankings use the same 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators as THE World University Rankings to provide the most comprehensive and balanced comparisons, trusted by students, academics, university leaders, industry and governments – but the weightings are specially recalibrated to reflect the characteristics of the emerging economy universities.

A young scientist at RUDN University is not just a researcher, but a bridge between cultures and disciplines. Their strength lies in “hybrid” thinking: they combine the traditions of the Russian academic school with a global perspective, work in international collaborations, and see science as a tool for solving specific problems facing humanity — from food security to interfaith dialogue. Their research is born at the intersection of faculties, and the results speak for themselves in Q1 and Q2 articles and real technologies.
Sergey Ivanov, a scientist from St. Petersburg, became the first winner of the RUDN University International Prize for scientific achievements and merits in the field of mathematics in the amount of 5 million rubles.
