A new university ranking, set up with funding from the European Union, is being publicly launched under the Irish EU Presidency in Dublin 30 January 2013.

The new 'multi-dimensional' listing marks a departure from traditional approaches to ranking university performance, most of which focus disproportionately on research excellence. Instead, it will rate universities according to a broader range of factors, in five separate areas: reputation for research, quality of teaching and learning, international orientation, success in knowledge transfer (such as partnerships with business and start-ups), and contribution to regional growth.

Some 500 universities from Europe and across the world are expected to sign up to take part in the ranking and the first results will be published in early 2014.
