Institution attribution and naming

Institution names have been standardized to ensure a clearer and more consistent presentation of the results.
When a school is part of a university, the ranking displays the institution that contributes most significantly to the score, according to the following rules:

  • If the school is the primary contributor, the school is listed first, followed by the university in parentheses.

  • If the university is the primary contributor but the school also contributes significantly, the university is listed first, followed by the name of the school in parentheses.

  • When a university or a school is listed on its own, it indicates that it is the primary contributor to the score.
