Doc. Ing. Petr Kordovský, Vice-Rector for Development and Strategy, says: "Ranking is a relatively important source of information not only for prospective students, as they were originally thought, but also for various decision points, from local governments to governments or international bodies. Their method of evaluation and the criteria used are part of the know-how of the individual institutions that issue them. An increasing number of universities are being evaluated. The criteria are predominantly set to the Anglo-Saxon model of the university, which is unambiguously shown in the overall tables. Yet, on a global scale, we maintain a year-on-year score, but due to the growing number of universities evaluated, our ranking in the ranking slightly deteriorates. In a more detailed view by subject, the position of individual CTU departments is clearly better. In particular, we look at our position among comparable institutions in the Czech Republic and in Europe. We are proud of our rankings in regional evaluations, like the 9th place among the 300 ranked universities in the 'Emerging Europe and Central Asia' (EECA) regional ranks. CTU management is aware of the importance of these assessments and devotes enough energy to analyzing and defining a strategy for further action. We have created a team to devote to the methods to optimize our ranking on our charts. "
