The selection criteria is made ​​from 13 rigorous performance indicators, the same as THE World University Rankings, examining every point of its mission – teaching, research , knowledge transfer and international results. It should be noted that the methodology has been carefully reworked to better reflect the characteristics and priorities of universities with developing economies.
