Kyungpook National University

THE World University Impact Assessment was first calculated last year and uses social and global responsibilities of higher education institutions as its main yardstick, unlike previous evaluations that focus on education and research results. Evaluation criteria include the degree of contribution to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the U.N. General Assembly in 2015. In this year’s evaluation, 857 universities from 89 countries participated in the evaluation. Kyungpook National University entered the world’s top 100 list for the first time, ranking 99th in the world, 13th in industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG9) 36th in hunger resolution (SDG2), 81st for quality jobs and economic growth (SDG8), and 98th in cooperation for sustainable development (SDG17).
