Shanghai Ranking

The recently published Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS) highlights the inclusion of the Technion in the world’s top 100 universities in the overall ranking and in five specific research fields: chemistry, aerospace engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, water resources engineering, and mathematics. The Technion’s placements on the GRAS provide an exclamation point to its strong performance on the Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) published earlier this year.

The Technion achieved its highest global rankings in chemistry, placing 32nd worldwide (a sharp rise from 61st in 2023) and 4th in Europe. In aerospace engineering, the Technion ranked 40th worldwide and 12th in Europe.

In Israel, the Technion is the leading university in eight research fields: chemistry, mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, chemical engineering, nanoscience and nanotechnology, water resources engineering, food science and technology, and aerospace engineering.

Technion President Prof. Uri Sivan said, “The Technion competes globally with universities that are older, larger, and far wealthier. Our consistent presence among the world’s top universities stems from the dedicated work of our academic and administrative staff, students, faculty deans, and leadership. Despite Israel facing prolonged conflict and Israeli academia encountering hostility and boycotts, both Israel and its academia remain strong and determined to pursue excellence. The Technion, which opened its doors more than a century ago, laid the foundation for the emerging State and has consistently pursued a national mission. Today, it plays a crucial role in reinvigorating Israel, its society and economy. This global acknowledgment of the Technion’s excellence motivates us to keep advancing our scientific, technological, educational, and national objectives.”

Research at the Schulich Faculty of Chemistry

Dean of the Schulich Faculty of Chemistry Prof. Efrat Lifshitz said, “This impressive achievement reflects the outstanding world-class research and excellence of the faculty and its members. The Schulich Faculty of Chemistry at the Technion upholds excellence in research and education. This is evident through prestigious awards, memberships in leading international chemistry organizations, editorial positions in prominent international journals, significant research grants, high-impact publications, collaborations with top industries, and training a new generation of scientists and industry leaders. Our diverse and interdisciplinary research attracts brilliant young scientists and faculty members, whose immense contributions advance human knowledge and educate future trailblazing scientists and industry leaders.”

In August, the Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) placed the Technion among the world’s top 100 academic institutions and 11th among technological universities. The Shanghai Ranking, conducted by Shanghai Ranking Consultancy, is the leading global higher education ranking system. Since 2012 (except for 2020), the Technion has consistently been in the top 100, ranking between 69th and 94th.

The Global Ranking of Academic Subjects now places the Technion in the top 100 in five research fields: chemistry, aerospace engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, water resources engineering, and mathematics.
