From Research Strength to Wider Institutional Influence.
The HERA Q2 Ranking Cycle brings together three dimensions that shape the wider reach of a contemporary university: the knowledge it creates, the partnerships through which that knowledge is applied, and the global networks through which its academic presence extends. Through the Research Power Rankings, Industry Collaboration Rankings and Global Resonance Rankings, HERA provides institutions with focused perspectives on research strength, enterprise connectivity and international academic reach.
