Interdisciplinary Science research Research holds the promise of unlocking learnings from multiple academic disciplines to solve global challenges. The Ranking, launched in partnership with Schmidt Science Fellows, is the first effort of its kind to measure universities' contribution and commitment to Interdisciplinary Science.

Responding to the view that the world¡¯s pressing problems can be solved only with insights from a range of scholarly fields, THE and Schmidt Science Fellows said a ranking would seek to improve scientific excellence and collaboration among universities, aiming to provide institutions with benchmarking data and rewarding campuses that incentivise cross-disciplinary work.

Duncan Ross, THE¡¯s chief data officer, said the collaboration ¡°will help progress scientific collaboration and research in the higher education sector, and beyond, in so many ways¡±. ¡°The new and groundbreaking Interdisciplinary Science Ranking will enable universities to benchmark their interdisciplinary scientific work, which we hope will spur far greater collaboration in universities and between universities both locally and globally,¡± Mr Ross said.

The results of the inaugural Ranking will be announced on November 21, 2025. The ISR 2025 is THE¡¯s biggest ever debut rankings with 749 universities ranked from 92 different countries.
