The highest position among Russian universities was taken by MSU, which is close to the top 20. SPBGU and MIPT have risen to the 40th and 46th lines, respectively, among 1,500 universities from 97 countries. 101 Russian universities were included in the list.
The ranking takes into account three main indicators of the effectiveness of universities: educational activities, scientific research and interaction with local communities.
