Three Israeli universities are in the top 100 best universities in the world

On August 15, the latest Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), widely known as the Shanghai Ranking, was published. It is compiled by ShanghaiRanking Consultancy and has been published annually since 2003. The ranking evaluates universities’ contributions to scientific and educational achievements, considering indicators such as the number of alumni who are Nobel Prize and Fields Medal laureates, the number of highly cited researchers, the volume and quality of publications in leading scientific journals, and other important criteria.
