HKUST Sees Strong Growth in World's Top 2% Scientists Ranking

HKUST has once again demonstrated its global research excellence in Stanford University's latest World's Top 2% Scientists ranking. A total of 244 and 205 HKUST scholars were featured in the Single-Year Impact and Career-Long Impact lists, respectively, accounting for approximately 40% of the University's tenure-track faculty. This achievement reflects the growing global influence of HKUST scholars and the University's leadership in advancing cutting-edge research across a wide range of disciplines.

Prof. GUO Yike, Provost of HKUST said, "HKUST has always placed talent at the heart of its development. Guided by our Strategic Plan 2031, we are committed to attracting and nurturing world-class researchers, advancing academic excellence and scientific breakthroughs, and supporting the innovation and technology (I&T) development priorities of both Hong Kong and the nation. This latest recognition is a strong affirmation of HKUST's achievements in research talent development and academic impact. Particularly encouraging is the year-on-year growth in the number of HKUST scholars recognized in the ranking. The University's representation in the Single-Year Impact list increased by approximately 10%, while the number featured in the Career-Long Impact list grew by more than 18%, reflecting the success of our efforts to attract, develop and retain top global talent. “
