13 Definition of Indicator: Alumni The total number of the alumni of an institution winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals. Alumni are defined as those who obtain bachelor, Master's or doctoral degrees from the institution. Different weights are set according to the periods of obtaining degrees. The weight is 100% for alumni obtaining degrees in , 90% for alumni obtaining degrees in , and so on, and finally 10% for alumni obtaining degrees in If a person obtains more than one degrees from an institution, the institution is considered once only.
