Contra el genocidi i contra la violació dels drets humans, a Gaza i arreu del món
Peace comes when you talk to the person you most hate. And that’s where the courage of a leader comes.
Desmond Tutu (1931-2021), first recipient of an honorary doctorate from UPF
These words, spoken by Desmond Tutu, the first person ever to be awarded an honorary doctorate by UPF, are more applicable today than ever. The UPF condemns, and will always condemn, the use of violence to settle disputes. At UPF, we advocate approaching political or territorial conflicts based on dialogue and respect for all peoples and minorities.
As a university, we also want to show our support to the academic community in countries at war. Universities and scientific institutions are more necessary than ever in these regions. Access to education and the promotion of critical thinking, in the context of strong independent institutions, are the way to ensure the informed debate and reflection that can open the door to new avenues for finding solutions.
At UPF, we are aware of the university community’s concern for the human rights violations we are seeing in the conflicts around us. That is why on this website you will find information about campaigns and actions related to current conflicts, as well as opinion pieces and institutional statements. We also offer a dedicated e-mail address – [email protected] – to contact the university and let us know about your interests and concerns.

The methodology used in the thematic rankings is based on the same thirteen performance indicators as the general ranking of THE. The indicators are distributed among five major areas, which, from more to less relative weight, are the following: Teaching, Research, Citations, Internationalization and Knowledge Transfer. The value of the indicators is readjusted to adapt to the various disciplines, and varies depending on each of the eleven areas analyzed.
The data made public confirm the good positioning of the UPF in the rankings of THE. A few weeks ago, the World University Rankings published every year by THE confirmed that Pompeu Fabra University remains globally one of the 200 best universities in the world, since in the annual report it appeared in position 186. The THE ranking is drawn up from a series of thirteen indicators, which measure five specific areas: teaching, research, citations, internationalization and knowledge transfer. Based on these five areas , a global position and score is given for each university. This year there were 1,799 universities evaluated.
Previously, in February this year, THE published its Young University Rankings 2022, which includes the world's best university centres under 50 years old. In this edition, the UPF was considered the 16th. best university in the world, the eighth in Europe and the first in Spain. This ranking classifies the 800 best young universities from around the world and, since it began to be published in 2012, UPF has always occupied very prominent positions.
