The status of Israeli academia received a boost as three Israeli universities ranked in the top 100 list of the prestigious 2023 Academic Ranking of World Universities, released on Tuesday by ShanghaiRanking Consultancy.
The Weizmann Institute of Science climbed to 67 from last year’s tie with the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology at 83. The Technion jumped to 78.
Meanwhile, Hebrew University dropped to 85 from last year’s ranking of 77.
While the top 100 universities are ranked in numerical order, an additional 900 top institutions are ranked in groups, which included four other Israeli institutions.
Tel Aviv University placed in the 201-300 ranking, while Bar Ilan University was in the 401-500 group. Ben Gurion University ranked at 501-600 while Haifa University rounded out the Israeli institutions in the 601-700 group.
The rankings are based on various factors, such as the number of times an institution’s researchers have been published or cited in leading journals and awards won by faculty members and alumni.
Eight of the top 10 universities were located in the U.S., including Harvard, which came in first place overall.
