UNN in top 30 of Interfax National University Ranking

The Interfax Group has presented its 15th annual National University Ranking (NUR) for 2024. University performance was assessed on six parameters: education, research, social environment, cooperation, innovation/ entrepreneurship, and brand.

All parametric and summary scores are converted to a dimensionless 1000-point scale; universities are ranked in descending order of the score value.

The summary ranking is the arithmetic result of the six parametric rankings. In the 2024 summary ranking, Lobachevsky University took 27th place out of 378 participants.

Compared to the previous year, the University improved its positions in 4 parameters of the ranking: Education - 35th place (+2 positions), Social Environment - 42nd place (+35 positions), Cooperation - 20th place (+10 positions), Innovation / Entrepreneurship - 24th place (+1 position).

The performance of 378 Russian universities was evaluated as part of the Russian Universities-2024 project. The ranking includes all the country's high-profile universities: 29 national research universities and centres, 10 federal, 33 flagship universities, as well as 144 universities participating in the Priority 2030 programme. Besides, the results of 21 non-state universities were assessed.

The assessment was based on the processing of questionnaire data submitted by universities, available public data posted by educational institutions on their websites, public data from information resources of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, as well as the data from the information and analytical systems SPARK-Interfax and SCAN-Interfax.
