Interfax news agency to launch CIS University Rating

The purpose of the project is to attribute ratings to CIS and BRICS-based universities to promote their positions in the global university rating systems, foster cooperation among these countries in university education and better train professionals for the needs of national economies. The new system is based on methods applied by QS rating agency that is issuing its QS WUR ratings for the last 10 years. The method is underpinned by three criteria: education, research and international exposure.
