The overall top three is completed by Cyprus University of Technology, which ranks first for citation impact, and the University of Cyprus, which leads on the industry income and international outlook measures.
Charles University in Prague is ranked fourth and comes top for teaching environment.

The ranking was launched at 罢贬贰’蝉 Research Excellence: New Europe Summit, which is being held this week in partnership with the Czech Republic’s?Palack? University Olomouc to explore the current centres of excellence and rising higher education stars in central and southern Europe.
