Many objective indicators are examined, including the number of faculty and alumni who have won Nobel Prizes and other prestigious awards; the number of articles published in leading scientific journals; and other per capita performance indices of the universities. More than 1000 universities are ranked by ARWU every year and the top 500 are including in the published rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heading the list of the world&#8217;s top universities are leading American institutions such as Harvard, Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of California, Berkeley.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2015 Shanghai Rankings: Technion consolidates its standing among the world\u2019s elite universities Technion ranks #77 overall, 18th in computer science and 44th in engineering Technion-Israel Institute of Technology has consolidated its standing as one of the top 100 universities in the world, according to the annual Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) released by Shanghai&hellip;
