Recently, Times Higher Education released their 2016/2017 World University Rankings.  The rankings look at teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook of universities from every corner of the globe.

Here at WebsEdge we were excited for this announcement as we have worked closely with many of the universities for our Conference TV projects. Looking at the list of this year’s rankings, we have captured the work of a variety of departments within all the top 24 universities and with over 70% in the top 100.

Through filming these department, we’re able to show the research and discoveries that are at the forefront of addressing the issues facing our society – not only to academia and industry but also to a wider global audience through its online channels. Universities greatly contribute to the important advances made to address these issues and is reflected how the universities are ranked through the key considerations (research, knowledge transfer).
