The funding of over €232,000 will enable two-way exchanges with partner universities in 18 countries. The project includes universities from countries such as Albania, Bangladesh, Brazil, Bhutan, Montenegro, Georgia, Honduras, India, Iran, Israel, Canada, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Singapore, El Salvador, South Africa, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. As part of the project, students can spend one semester studying or undertaking traineeship at particular partner university. Academic and administrative staff are offered week-long teaching or training mobility. Mobility activities are a great opportunity to exchange experience, establish valuable contacts and develop international cooperation. The bilateral nature of the Programme also makes it possible to invite esteemed academics to give lectures, workshops or training courses using modern educational methods.

Still, the Erasmus+ KA171 project with countries outside the EU under the 2022 agreement is being carried out. Mobility activities, which have been implemented so far, have undoubtedly contributed to the development of educational and research cooperation and joint initiatives with academic centers in partner countries.

We hope that the next edition of the Erasmus+ Programme for the years 2023-2026 will also bring new international initiatives.

This ranking, featuring 3,000 universities, maintains Harvard, University of Toronto, and University College London as the top three, replicating last year's standings.

Among the 56 Polish universities included, Jagiellonian University secured the 343rd position, followed by the University of Warsaw at 506th, and AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow at 680th. Lodz University of Technology maintained its 1051st rank from the previous year. However, among Polish HEIs, TUL moved up five places, taking 13th position in Poland.

URAP 2023-2024 World Ranking is based on 6 academic performance indicators. Publications constitute the basis of the ranking methodology. Both quality and quantity of publications and international research collaboration performance are used as indicators.
