A 2018-as évre vonatkozó globális egyetemi rangsorok közül utolsóként a legrégebbi, ún. ARWU-ranking jelent meg. Gyorselemzésünkben a regionális versenytárs egyetemek és a magyar intézmények vonatkozásaira fókuszálunk.
Magukban az általános (overall) rangsor-helyezésekben nem történt sok változtás, miután a 2010-es évek elejének fejleményei (kutatási források csökkenése stb.) következtében 2016-ra valamennyi egyetemünk kiesett az első ötszázas körből – viszont a shanghai-ak szerencsére a következő évben terjesztették ki előbb 800, majd 1000 egyetemre a listájukat, tehát legalább a térképről nem tűntünk el. Így maradt idén is az ELTE és a Szegedi Tudományegyetem az 501-600-as csoportban, a Műegyetem pedig a 701/800-asban. Pozitív változás viszont, hogy a Semmelweis Egyetem bekerült a 601/700-as csoportba, elsősorban a hazai egyetemek között kiemelkedő magasan idézett kutatók (Highly Cited Researchers) jelenléte révén. A Debreceni Egyetem kapott még rangsorolást, a 901/1000-es csoportban. Összevteve ezeket a pozíciókat a térség más országainak intézményeivel, szintén nem találunk jelentős változásokat. A finn és osztrák vezető egyetemek más kategóriát képviselnek, hiszen Ausztria tizenöt állami egyeteme közül hat is az első 500-ban található (közülük a Bécsi Egyetem a 150-200 között), a 13 finn egyetem közül pedig négy tartozik ide, a Helsinki egyetem 57-i helyével együtt. A volt szocialista országok egyetemei közül továbbra is a prágai Károly Egyetem (201-300) valamint másik két fővárosi, a Varsói és Belgrádi Egyetem (mindkettő 301-400) emelkedik ki. Utóbbaiknál ez visszalépés az eggyel előbbre levő kategóriából a 2015-ös szintre, Varsó és Prága viszont stabilan tartja a helyezését. Ezeken az intézményeken kívül viszont sem a cseh, sem a lengyel felsőoktatás nem jár érdemben a magyar előtt, hiszen a krakkói Jagelló Egyetemen (401-500) kívül nincs más első ötszázas intézményük.
Összességében tehát nem változott a helyzet idén sem: a magyar élegyetemek a kelet-európai élmezőny mögötti második csoporthoz tartoznak.
