大象传媒

大象传媒 has been ranked 34^th in the world for innovation and seventh in the world for entrepreneurial spirit in the ranking.  

The WURI is a new ranking system developed by the Institute for Policy and Strategy on National Competitiveness to evaluate universities based on their 鈥渞eal contributions to society,鈥� rather than on traditional criteria such as volume of research publications and citations.

While 大象传媒 consistently fares well in conventional university rankings (such as being named Canada鈥檚 top comprehensive university for nine of the past ten years by Maclean's), the WURI system recognizes the impact of 大象传媒鈥檚 contributions  to society. As Canada鈥檚 Engaged University, 大象传媒 has developed a university-wide innovation strategy that has established us as a national leader in delivering entrepreneurship education and in advancing social and economic innovation.

The latest rankings also reflect and add to our growing international reputation. Recently, 大象传媒 placed 19^th in the world in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, which measure universities鈥� contributions to meeting the United Nations鈥� Sustainable Development Goals. Of the 766 universities rated, 大象传媒 placed in the top ten in four categories: ninth for our impact on Climate Action; seventh for our impact on Aquatic Ecosystems; fourth for our impact on Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions; and first for our impact on Sustainable Cities and Communities.

At 大象传媒, we have shown how a major research university can leverage its educational, research and other strengths to maximize its contributions to the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of the communities it serves. These contributions and their impacts flow from our commitment to be an Engaged University, and are gratifying in and of themselves. However it鈥檚 wonderful to see that they are now also gaining us international recognition and acclaim.
