SyNERGY MED 2024: 3rd International Conference on the Energy Transition in the Mediterranean region organized by the “FAETHON” Center of Excellence
November 13, 2024
The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Cyprus has been recognized as the top School of Engineering and Technology in Cyprus and the 48th best in Europe, according to the EngiRank 2024 ranking. This ranking includes 226 academic institutions across the 27 EU member countries as well as Switzerland and Norway, highlighting the significance of this achievement. Notably, to be eligible for the ranking, over 30% of a university’s publications must fall within the fields of engineering and technology.
The results were announced at a special event in Brussels during the International Conference “Engineering Education for an Innovative and Sustainable Europe,” attended by the Dean of the Faculty, Professor Marina Neophytou. This recognition is particularly notable, as the Faculty was established only 25 years ago and just celebrated its 20th anniversary of academic offerings, now standing alongside historic European polytechnic institutions with over a century of history.
EngiRank, developed in collaboration with Elsevier, introduces new benchmarks for regional, thematic rankings with indicators specifically crafted for Europe. The methodology combines traditional metrics, such as publications and citations, with specialized criteria like industry collaboration, joint research with businesses, registered patents, contributions to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and engineering program accreditation (from bodies like ENAEE and ABET). Additional evaluation criteria include participation in European programs like Erasmus+ and Horizon, collaborations in European research initiatives (such as those from the European Research Council), and other academic partnerships. Ranking data are sourced from Elsevier’s Scopus, the European Patent Office’s PATSTAT, Horizon Europe, and engineering accreditation bodies.
This prestigious recognition once again affirms the Faculty of Engineering’s commitment to academic excellence, demonstrating its ability to stand out among top European institutions in a relatively short period. Congratulations to all members of the Faculty and the University of Cyprus for their contributions to this success, strengthening Cyprus’s role in the European academic sphere.
