Fırat University Achieves Top Rankings in Times Higher Education (THE) Interdisciplinary ...
Fırat University has demonstrated exceptional success in the recently announced 2025 Times Higher Education (THE) Interdisciplinary Science Rankings (ISR), ranking in the 201–250 band globally and securing 11th place overall in Türkiye, while standing 7th among public universities in the country.
The ISR, conducted for the first time this year by THE in collaboration with Schmidt Science Fellows, evaluates universities’ contributions to interdisciplinary science. The ranking system highlights institutions that excel in fostering innovation across disciplines. A total of 749 universities from 92 countries participated, with Fırat University demonstrating its commitment to interdisciplinary research and global academic excellence.
The ISR methodology assesses universities through 11 calibrated indicators distributed across three categories: Inputs (such as funding), Processes (including facilities and administrative support), and Outputs (like publications, research quality, and reputation). Notably, Fırat University ranked 6th in Türkiye in the “Outputs” category, reflecting the tangible impact of its interdisciplinary research efforts.
Speaking about this achievement, Fırat University Rector Prof. Dr. Fahrettin Göktaş stated:
“We are proud of our position in the 2025 THE Interdisciplinary Science Rankings, one of the most prestigious global university rankings. Being placed in the 201–250 band globally and ranking 7th among public universities in Türkiye is a testament to our significant contributions to interdisciplinary scientific research. Particularly, securing 6th place in the ‘Outputs’ category in Türkiye shows the impactful contributions we make to the global scientific community.
This success reflects the innovative, solution-driven, and collaborative approaches embraced by our academic staff. At Fırat University, we remain steadfast in pursuing scientific excellence with a universal perspective. Our commitment to interdisciplinary research and investment in groundbreaking projects will continue to drive us forward. I extend my gratitude to our academic and administrative staff, students, and all partner institutions who contributed to this remarkable accomplishment.”
