. wow, karolinska is doing good, Melbourne and NUS... too. Thankx for post.
In Germany ppl mostly do not talk about the ranking. If they do then only of mainland Europe ( non English speaking), bcoz they say language effects badly the parameters of ranking. Actually in Germany quality of all universities is similar, because 99% of them belong to the government run free universities. What I admire is they do not charge any buck to students, the state government bears every expenses.
Till few years ago there were no ranking system, as Germany is a social democratic country and believes in equal quality. But nowadays it is like a new fashion to see ranking over here. And THES result has always been impressive for Heidelberg
. It is targeting to belong to tops and lot of big constructions are going on at "IN Neuenheimer Feld"-where the medical faculty and its hospitals exist.
Azu, did they also publish the ranking of research institutions??
