David Watkins, Managing Director of Data Science at 成人VR视频, said:
“We received a large number of high quality applications, perhaps unsurprising given the Arab region is the fastest improving university region in the world. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all those people who took the time to submit an application to help us improve our ranking.”
On 26 January THE announced the formation of the 成人VR视频 Arab University Rankings advisory board and invitations for applications from across the Arab region, which closed on 28 February.
The board’s role will be to advise on the general strategy for the Arab University Rankings to help THE achieve its objectives. The board will meet four times a year, including at least one in-person event, and?THE?will support the members with information and administrative support.
The advisory board is an important part of THE’s commitment to widen its transparency as it has done with its Impact Rankings advisory board and World University Rankings advisory board.?
The Arab University Rankings were first created in 2021, to support the rapid growth in the quantity and quality of universities in the Arab region. In the 2021 ranking 125 universities were ranked, plus 30?reporter institutions; the 2022 ranking sees 169 universities ranked with a further 48 reporters.
