News : Ranking Holding the first meeting of the University Ranking Systems Working Group
| Last update: 2026/09/19 |
The first meeting of the working group on university ranking systems at Golestan University of Medical Sciences was held on September 14, 2026 (Shahrivar 23, 1405), at the office of the university’s Vice-Chancellor for Research and Technology.
The inaugural meeting of the Working Group on University Ranking Systems at Golestan University of Medical Sciences was held on Monday, September 14, 2026 (Shahrivar 23, 1405). The meeting took place at the Office of the Vice-Chancellor for Research and Technology and was attended by Dr. Abbas Badakhshan (Director of the University President’s Office), Dr. Gholamreza Roshandel (Vice-Chancellor for Research and Technology), Dr. Danial Bagheri (Director of International Affairs for the University Campus), Dr. Motahareh Hassani (Secretary of the Working Group), and other members of the working group.
Given the significance of a university’s presence and standing within international ranking systems—as well as the necessity of achieving scientific authority—the Ministry of Health’s Vice-Chancellery for Research and Technology has designated this area as a key indicator for the annual performance evaluation of research and technology activities across the nation's universities of medical sciences.
Since several of the criteria required for inclusion in international ranking systems pertain to various other units, vice-chancelleries, and departments within the university, success in this domain necessitates effective, cross-departmental collaboration. Consequently, a working group has been established—chaired by Dr. Mohsen Ebrahimi (President of the University) and coordinated by the Vice-Chancellery for Research and Technology—with the objective of securing membership in international ranking systems, improving the university’s standing, and attaining scientific authority.
During this session, the attendees engaged in discussions and exchanged views regarding the specific indicators used for assessment and their impact on university rankings.
