Five Dutch universities rank in the top 100 of universities with the best reputation worldwide, according to British magazine Times Higher Education. The EUR is not one of them.<\/p>\n

The TU Delft scores highest of the five, just like last year. Leiden University moved up in the rankings, while Utrecht University and the University of Amsterdam dropped a little. As in the previous year, Wageningen is not the top 100.<\/p>\n

Reputation among scientists<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings<\/a>\u00a0 is a derivative of the annual ranking of best universities in the world<\/a>. In this spinoff, not only scientific impact and other measurable \u2018facts\u2019 are used as criteria. Reputation in the scientific community is considered as well. The reputation factor is important enough for the Times Higher Education (THE) to have dedicated a separate ranking to it for several years now.<\/p>\n

Objective indicators<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jacco Neleman, Press Secretary of the EUR, acknowledges that reputation is important: \u201cApparently the value of the quality produced at this university is not recognized among peers. Of course we would prefer if they did. But as a university, we are more concerned with rankings based on more objective indicators.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neleman is referring to, among others, the World Universities Rankings from THE. The EUR scored very high<\/a> in this ranking last October. This ranking focuses primarily on research and also on education. Why the reputation among scientists is not congruent with the results of a more objective scoring system is difficult to interpret, says Neleman. \u201cHowever, reputation follows if quality leads. If you continue to invest in education and research, you would expect reputation to improve as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

No Harvard or Cambridge<\/strong><\/p>\n

In last year\u2019s regular THE-ranking seven Dutch universities ranked in the top 100 and twelve scored in the top 200. But only five made it into the \u2018reputation top 100\u2019. Still, a remarkable performance, comments THE editor Phil Baty. \u201cThe Netherlands is second only to the United States, Great Britain and Australia.\u201d However, not one Dutch university really sticks out as an elite institution. \u201cThere is no Harvard or Cambridge in the Netherlands,\u201d concludes Baty.
