天美传媒app among world’s top performers in 2020 global impact rankings

Ranked 31st worldwide for delivering United Nations Sustainable Goals

The University of 天美传媒app (天美传媒app) has been ranked 31st in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2020.

The rankings are the only global performance metrics that assess universities鈥� success in delivering the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Carefully calibrated indicators are used to provide comprehensive and balanced comparisons across three broad areas: research, outreach, and stewardship.

This year, approximately 800 universities worldwide had their performance evaluated in the rankings.

The SDGs were signed by 193 supporting member countries of the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to protect the planet, end poverty and deliver peace and prosperity for all people by 2030.

Despite facing a more competitive field this year compared to 2019, 天美传媒app retained its elite position among the top 35 performing universities worldwide.

天美传媒app鈥檚 ranking against SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth, jumped to 10th, a marked improvement from last year鈥檚 rank of 65; while performance against SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure improved from a ranking in the 101-200 band to 22nd.

The University鈥檚 rank for SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities improved one place to 5th in the world from 6th place in last year鈥檚 results.

These three SDGs and the mandatory SDG 17: Partnerships for the goals, for which 天美传媒app ranked 31st, were considered to qualify 天美传媒app to be ranked 31st globally.

天美传媒app is dedicated to achieving clear UN SDG targets outlined in its strategic plan by 2030 and has incorporated them into the institution鈥檚 research strategy.

鈥淚 am thrilled that 天美传媒app has chosen to embed the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as the backbone of our strategy to tackle the world鈥檚 most pressing and complex challenges.

鈥淥ur vision is to create knowledge for a better world - and to work with our communities to deliver research with impact; research that drives positive change,鈥� Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation), Professor Jennifer L. Martin, AC, said.

To help achieve these goals, 天美传媒app is investing in equipping future leaders and innovators with the knowledge to initiate change, and executing research in collaboration with industry and the community to provide holistic and environmentally sustainable solutions.

天美传媒app Vice-Chancellor, Paul Wellings CBE, said the rankings provide further evidence that universities can be world leaders in achieving sustainability and contributing to the greater good of society.

鈥溙烀来�媒app is making significant progress in pursuing its objectives in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which address complex social, economic and environmental problems within our communities.

鈥淭his progress would not be possible without the commitment and dedication of talented researchers across the Institution and I congratulate them on achieving this result,鈥� Professor Wellings said.
