"This time the compilers also evaluated the scientific and technological potential of the regions," adds Daniil Sandler, UrFU Vice Rector for Economics and Strategic Development. - Thanks to the efforts of our university, the Sverdlovsk Region is one of the five most developed in this area, which is an indication of our potential and growth prospects.

As in the previous year, the medal winners were Lomonosov Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University and the National Research University "Higher School of Economics".

The RAEX agency has published the subject rankings of Russian universities - the lists of the best universities included 164 higher education institutions from 42 regions of Russia.

The study uses three sets of indicators that traditionally appear in all rankings - the "Three missions of the university," which include education, science and society. The subject ratings take into account the specifics of each field - the set of indicators and their values differ depending on the subject. For example, for science and engineering fields, "science" is 35%, while for social sciences and humanities it is 25%.
