It is a sign of the times: the number of 'Female Authors' is a distinctive factor of NOVA in terms of gender equality in all rankings in which it is evaluated - and U-Multirank is no exception. According to the results now disclosed, NOVA received the maximum score in the total of 14 indicators - one more than last year - and thus holds, alone, the first place at the national level.
Created by the European Commission and co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme in 2014, U-Multirank is the largest multidimensional ranking that evaluates the different dimensions of complex academic activity. In total, U-Multirank analysed the performance of 2202 higher education institutions around the world. It should also be highlighted that among the young European universities - that is, those less than 50 years old - NOVA maintains its 7th position.
Besides the indicator 'Female Authors', which considers the proportion of publications with female authors, NOVA also obtained maximum points in the following categories:
- Research publications
- Interdisciplinary publications
- Professional publications
- Open access publications
- Income from private sources
- Publications cited in patent
- Income from continuing professional development
- Student mobility
- International academic staff
- International joint publications
- Masters' students working in the region
- Regional joint publications.
