    Default The University oF Athens joins the top 200 ranking

    This is days old news. but in the Webometrics Ranking of World Universities, the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens came at 180th place globally and 49th in Europe, the first Greek uni in a decade to reach the top 200.

    https://www.webometrics.info/en/europe/greece%20

    Before the crisis, the University of Athens, the National Polytechnic and the School of Business and Economics were at the top 150, with the first being at the top 100. Let's hope it regains that spot.

    OK, but why does the economy of the country influences so much the ranking of the University?
    I know that poorer countries have a weaker system of education, but how does a country that enters an economic crisis immediately change the position of the university?

    Probably because bright Greek researchers moved away from Greece to seek higher wages in other Western universities, lowering down the quantity and quality of new papers

    Because the funding for education, as the entire budget, is instantly decreased, thus limiting research.
