Overview
CURG (Czech Universities Ranking Group), in cooperation with QS, THE, and Elsevier, will organize the regional conference on CEE Universities Ranking Strategies. This conference will occur in Prague on November 3 and 4, 2025. The conference will be hosted by VŠE/Prague University of Economics and Business.
In today’s globalized education landscape, international rankings have become more than just a badge of honor for universities—they are strategic tools that influence reputation, recruitment, partnerships, and continuous improvement. High placement in international rankings signals academic excellence and institutional credibility. Visibility in rankings can improve the competitiveness of Central European universities on the educational market, making it more attractive to students, faculty, and partners worldwide. Prospective students—especially international candidates—often rely on rankings to guide their application decisions. A strong position in global rankings helps universities attract top talent from diverse backgrounds, enriching the classroom experience and fostering a multicultural learning environment.
Rankings often reflect research output, faculty qualifications, and academic influence. This visibility helps attract high-caliber faculty and researchers, who in turn contribute to the universities´ intellectual capital and global standing.
Conference participants will also meet Elsevier managers, which offers a wide range of benefits for researchers and academic institutions. As one of the world’s leading scientific publishers and data analytics companies, its platforms and services support the entire research lifecycle.
