WURI (World's Universities with Real Impact) Ranking is an annual publication of university rankings by IPSNC (the Institute for Policy and Strategy of National Competitiveness). The publisher has collaborated with Hanseatic League of Universities, UNITAR (the United Nations Institute for Training and Research), and Taylor Institute of Franklin University Switzerland since 2020. The WURI system qualifies and ranks the effect of each higher education institution's innovation program on society.

Professor Hwy-Chang Moon, the founding director of WURI Ranking, pointed out the problems inherent in the existing university ranking models, saying, "There is a problem that universities with special visions or goals are not ranked in the existing university evaluations based on education focused on knowledge transfer and research performance." In addition, the 4th Industrial Revolution has brought new challenges for existing institutions of higher education to go further from their educational goals of satisfying intellectual curiosity, and to conduct offline education online due to COVID-19. As such, the WURI Ranking system was introduced to compensate for the problems of the existing university ranking models and to meet the need for a new university competitiveness evaluation model due to social changes.

It was accomplished in June 2020, after announcing the introduction of the WURI system at the second Hanseatic League of Universities conference held at Incheon National University in July 2019.

Methodology
The assessment course for the WURI Ranking system consists of three stages: evaluation, screening, and final review. University-specific innovation programs are evaluated and ranked on a case-by-case basis.

In the first stage, the assessment team nominated by the president or the president of the schools to be evaluated will participate in the assessment. The heads of higher education institutions who participated in the evaluation will evaluate cases of innovation by other institutions in a blind manner.

The second stage of the screening process will be conducted by representatives of university associations from different regions or countries around the world and by the judges of the WURI Evaluation Committee. Finally, in the final stage of review, the WURI Evaluation Committee aggregates recommended universities of judges and verifies the reliability of the application submitted before confirming the WURI ranking innovative universities.

Category
The WURI ranking system ranks the Global Top 100 and the Top 50 universities in four categories. Starting with the 2021 evaluation model, ‘Crisis Management for Further Prosperity’, a new innovation evaluation category, will also be reflected.
 * Industrial Application
 * Entrepreneurial Spirit
 * Ethical Value
 * Student Mobility and Openness
 * Crisis Management for Further Prosperity

Evaluation based on big data analysis
Unlike previous rankings, which rely on university statistics and surveys of university officials, WURI ranking collects and evaluates each university's innovation programs in two ways.
 * Universities submit their own innovation cases.
 * Collect Google data on university innovation cases using textual information analysis techniques.

In addition, WURI's university assessment public data will be shared with Kaggle, a predictive model and analysis platform used by data scientists around the world, providing a forum for data experts around the world to view, analyze and discuss data together to lead the new way of university evaluation in the digital age.

Learning Effect
The WURI evaluation features a large 'learning effect' that can share innovation cases. The heads of each higher education institution can participate in the evaluation and learn at the same time while evaluating innovation cases from other institutions.

That's because the existing evaluation system is particularly advantageous for some universities that can focus their resources on research, but WURI rankings can lead to collaborative development by sharing efforts and examples for small and medium-sized universities.
