Small Times Magazine has just announced its annual university rankings of universities specializing in research.
May 14, 2006Small Times compiled a guide to the top universities in micro and nanotechnology, based on responses to a survey sent to more than 100 research institutions in the United States. Fifty universities responded to the survey, which included questions about facilities, funding, courses, degrees, research programs, publishing, patenting, company formation, industrial partnerships and more. Their responses were analyzed to determine their strength in five key categories: research, education, facilities, industrial outreach and commercialization. Respondents also were asked to rank their peers for research and commercialization.
Over large and small 50 Universities were evaluated, and Cornell University has made the top ten in several categories. CU placed first for Commercialization, second for nano research and facilites, forth for research, fifth for micro research and commercialization and tenth for industrial outreach. More information can be found at Small Times Magazine’s website.
