ShanghaiRanking Consultancy publicou hoxe, 18 de novembro, a nova edición da súa particular lista global de universidades, o famoso ShanghaiRanking.
A lista, publicada por primeira vez no ano 2003 e propiedade da firma independente desde o ano 2009, considera unha serie indicadores que permiten a xerarquización das universidades a nivel mundial segundo o seu desempeño. Estes indicadores son, entre outros:
- Número de gañadores de premios Nobel e medallas Fields (equivalente ao Nobel matemático).
- Número de investigadores altamente citados segundo Clarivate.
- Número de artigos publicados en revistas de Nature e Science.
- Número de artigos indexados no Science Citation Index – Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index.
- Desempeño da universidade per capita.
Cada nova edición do Shanghai Ranking considera ao redor de 1800 universidades de todo o mundo, de entre as cales públicanse os resultados das mil mellores.
No 2025, a Universidade de Vigo conseguiu grandes resultados na área de Ciencia e Tecnoloxía dos Alimentos, ao aparecer en terceira posición a nivel europeo, en primeira posición a nivel español e sendo considerada a número 17 a nivel global, o que supón un pulo importante para o prestixio dos programas de Grao en Ciencia e Tecnoloxía dos Alimentos, Máster Universitario en Ciencia e Tecnoloxía Agroalimentaria e Ambiental e o Programa de Doutoramento en Ciencia e Tecnoloxía Agroalimentaria da Universidade de Vigo, con grande participación do noso grupo de investigación tanto no profesorado como na investigación relacionada.
