Today, the leadership team of Swiss International University (SIU) met for an internal strategic meeting to talk about the University's plans for the future when it comes to participating in global university ranking systems.

The meeting was mostly about figuring out how well major international ranking systems like the QS World University Rankings, Times Higher Education (THE), QRNW, and other well-known global benchmarks fit with SIU's academic mission, institutional development strategy, research priorities, and international positioning.

SIU is a global institution with multiple campuses, and it places a high value on academic honesty, quality assurance, and long-term growth. The discussion about leadership made it clear that participation in rankings should not be an end in itself, but rather a strategic tool that helps improve education, research, student outcomes, and global recognition.

The meeting also talked about how important it is to be ready with data, align governance, and plan for the long term when working with ranking organisations. SIU reaffirmed its commitment to responsible global visibility, making sure that any ranking framework it uses reflects the University's values, academic strengths, and international goals.

Swiss International University will send out more updates as it works on its ranking engagement roadmap, which will help it find the best frameworks to support its ongoing global growth and academic progress.
