FAR Eastern University-Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation remains in the list of the most innovative universities in the world.

The World Universities with Real Impact Ranking for 2023 had FEU-NMRF 56th in its list of Top 100 Innovative Universities.

The university also ranked 8th in Crisis Management based on the WURI ranking metric.

Other Philippine HEIs included in the list are FEU Institute of Technology, St. Paul University Philippines, Central Luzon State University, Batangas State University, Leyte Normal University, and Cebu Normal University.

WURI was introduced by the Organizing Committee of the Hanseatic League of Universities.

Its objective is to move away from conventional rankings that primarily emphasize quantitative metrics associated with research and academic systems.

Instead, WURI focuses on recognizing innovative programs that make genuine difference in society.

This year’s rankings were organized by the Policy and Strategy on National Competitiveness of South Korea with the help of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research, HLU, the Institute for Industrial Policy Studies based in Seoul, and the Taylor Institute of Franklin University Switzerland
