Independent ranking (sponsored by «Interfax») 6 sets of indicators: education research social servises International activity brand Innovation and commercialization of intellectual property

Problems Wrong motivation (on federal political level – national task, on regional political level – source of pressure, on institutional level - positive reports) «Внешняя, но не внутренняя адресность» на всех уровнях Difficulties of measurement (MSU, SPSU МГУ и СПГУ забивают всех ). Weaknesses of methodology and statistics

Ranking as tool for creation diverse and competitive higher education landscape in Russia (3) Competition of HEIs implementing educational programs of new generation Competitive selection of National research universities Competitive selection of HEIs for state support for creation of Hi-Tech-enterprises and innovative infrastructure development

Model of selection Two sets of the measurable criterias : –Quality of project –Quality of potential Three stages of selection procedure –Quality of project => ranking 1=> semifinalists –Evaluation of the HEI potential => ranking 2=> short list –Debates of independent selection juries => winners
