Background:
The Moscow International University Ranking is a fundamentally new academic ranking that, for the first time, evaluates all three key university missions: education, research, and engagement with society. The ranking methodology was subject to extensive public discussion, in which over 100 universities participated. The ranking is compiled using only objective criteria based on official data (including university public reports) and data from reputable international information providers. Reputation surveys are completely excluded.
