EngiRank is the first and only ranking in Europe that is not an "excerpt" from the general ranking of universities, but is based on indicators important for engineering education, aimed at educating competent and creative engineers aware of the social impact of their activities. Its scope covers universities and engineering programs from 27 EU countries, taking into account measures unique to this area, including participation in the Erasmus+ and Horizon programs, but also commitment to the implementation of sustainable development goals.
The ranking was initiated and is implemented by the "Perspektywy" Educational Foundation. The main partner of the project is the Foundation for the Development of the Education System (FRSE), which is the national agency of the Erasmus+ program in Poland, and the supporting partner is the IREG Observatory on Academic Ranking and Excellence - an international organization of creators and analysts of academic rankings. Elsevier provided significant support in preparing the ranking.
