The second edition has been published new global Times Higher Education (THE) rankings for interdisciplinary researchA total of 911 universities from 94 countries are represented, with 44 Russian universities included in the ranking. NSU has been among the top 5 Russian universities for the second year in a row (rankings 4-7). In the international rankings, NSU ranks 201-250. Novosibirsk State University ranks just behind Moscow State University, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, and RUDN University. HSE, SFedU, and UrFU are on par with NSU.
This ranking is based on both objective criteria, based on the SCOPUS scientometric database and a survey of researchers from around the world (65% of the ranking; outputs), and qualitative indicators—"availability of opportunities for interdisciplinary research," "support from management," "presence of a system for rewarding interdisciplinary research at the university," and "availability of indicators of success in interdisciplinary research" (16% of the ranking; process). Another 19% comes from the indicator "funding for interdisciplinary research" (inputs).
Unlike last year's ranking, which only took into account interdisciplinary research in the natural sciences, life sciences, and computer sciences, this year's rankings also include one or more non-STEM disciplines: social sciences, education, psychology, law, economics, or clinical health.
"NSU ranks highly in funding for interdisciplinary research, ranking fourth and seventh in Russia in terms of results. Over the past five years, the number of NSU publications in top-ranked international scientific journals has increased by 30%, with 1,991 citations in SCOPUS in 2024. We expect that by 2025, total funding for scientific research, including extra-budgetary sources, will reach 4 billion rubles. Unlike a single research institute with a specific specialization, NSU can initiate interdisciplinary projects, attract funding for them, create consortiums, and engage institutes in the joint implementation of such projects. Thus, NSU acts as an integrator and center of gravity for the Novosibirsk Scientific Center," commented NSU Rector and RAS Academician Mikhail Fedoruk.
Several innovation centers are currently operating at NSU. International Mathematical Center, Advanced Engineering School, Artificial Intelligence Research Center, the NTI Competence Center for New Functional Materials. Most of their research is interdisciplinary. NSU also recently confirmed its position among the leading universities in the "Priority 2030"NSU will use the grant funds to develop three strategic technology projects: biomedicine, small spacecraft and unmanned systems, as well as the use of artificial intelligence in industry and for solving smart city problems.
