w88 casino News Network (Contributed by the Development and Planning Office, Photography by Yujun)On December 5, Mr. Duncan Ross, Chief Data Officer of Times Higher Education, Ms. Caroline Corcoran, Director of Data Operations, Ms. Qian Zhunyu, Regional Director of Mainland China, and Ms. Li Hui, Asia Market and Partnership Manager, visited w88 casino. President Xia Wenbin met with the delegation in VIP Room 1001 of the Administration Building. Qiu Hongwei, Director of the Development Planning Department, Wang Yunhai, Director of the Human Resources Department, Wu Jun, Deputy Director of the Scientific Research Department, Wu Li, Deputy Director of the Development Planning Department, Geng Huifang, Deputy Director of the International Exchange and Cooperation Department, and others attended the meeting.
President Xia Wenbin first expressed his sincere welcome to the Times Higher Education delegation and briefly introduced the development of the w88 casino to the guests. He said that as one of the first universities selected into the national “double first-class” construction, the w88 casino is actively carrying out the construction of an open economic discipline cluster. He hoped that the Times Higher Education delegation could provide useful suggestions for the w88 casino’s “double first-class” construction, especially in improving its international reputation and identifying benchmark schools. President Xia pointed out that China advocates the elimination of the "Five Onlys" in university evaluation, which is a very correct and important direction. But "not only" does not mean "don't want". Whether it is an academic paper or an academic title, the important thing is to look at contribution and value. Using academic evaluation indicators to better help colleges and universities improve their contribution and value is a topic that colleges and universities should think deeply about. The w88 casino attaches great importance to the Times World University Ranking Index System and hopes to discover the w88 casino's shortcomings through internationally authoritative third-party evaluations and promote future improvements and improvements. President Xia said that the w88 casino hopes to further strengthen cooperation with Times Higher Education in the future and jointly organize seminars on the ranking index system.
Mr. Duncan Ross expressed his sincere gratitude to President Xia Wenbin and the w88 casino for their warm reception. He said that he was very honored to come to Beijing and to your w88 casino on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Times Higher Education has always attached great importance to the influence of Chinese universities in the world. We are very happy to see your w88 casino's outstanding performance and its contribution to the world's higher education field. This visit is also to better listen to your w88 casino’s feedback on the World University Rankings, thereby improving the existing ranking indicator system, and hoping to further promote cooperation between the two parties.
Mr. Duncan Ross briefly introduced the development process of the Times World University Rankings and the newly released Times World University Impact Rankings in 2019. He said that there are many types of higher education institutions around the world and large regional differences. The complexity of rankings was fully considered and foreseen at the beginning of the design. The design of the Times Higher Education indicator system strives to be relatively comprehensive and balanced. Times Higher Education currently has data on more than 3,500 universities. You can find international benchmarks that are suitable for your w88 casino. Study the construction measures taken by these benchmark institutions and learn from each other to help your w88 casino's construction. He explained the mission and vision of Times Higher Education, and hoped to see more Chinese universities making efforts in promoting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in the future, and to see the w88 casino making greater achievements in the world of higher education。
