Three Israeli universities were ranked in the top 100 most innovative universities in the world on an annual list by Reuters.
The Hebrew University was 82nd, climbing 12 spots from last year. Tel Aviv University was ranked at 88 and The Technion-Israel Institute of Technology at 89.
The Reuters analysis identifies the educational institutions doing the most to advance science, invent new technologies, and power new markets and industries. The ranking is based on a number of indicators, including patent filings and research paper citations.
Reuters cited The Hebrew University’s technology transfer company, Yissum Research Development Company, which brings students’ and researchers’ technologies and discoveries to market, with 10,000 registered patents covering 2,800 inventions, more than 900 licensed technologies, and the launch of 125 startups.
Stanford was ranked first for the third consecutive year, followed by MIT and Harvard.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
