Abstract

Fifty one Russian universities that entered at least one of the rankings such as QS or THE in past three years were identified. These universities were grouped according to 23 regions of Russia. We counted the number of universities in each region and calculated their aggregate positioning in each of the rankings under study. Using the methodology of calculating the integral indicators of regional university competitiveness suggested in the previous works by the authors these indicators were calculated in three variants for each ranking. It led to identifying five leading regions or university excellence centers. They are Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Tomsk Oblast, Republic of Tatarstan, and Novosibirsk Oblast. Pairwise correlation was observed between all the values of six integral indicators. The suggested methodology can be used for spatial analysis of university competitiveness in regions of any country and in any set of countries.
