Hanyang 프랑스 토토사이트 (President Lee Ki-jeong) announced on the 19th that it has achieved its best-ever result by placing 44th globally in the Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings 2025. This marks a dramatic leap from its previous placement in the 101–200 band, affirming the university’s internationally recognized capabilities in achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The THE Impact Rankings evaluate how universities contribute to sustainable development through education, research, and social engagement, based on the 17 SDGs set by the United Nations. This year, more than 2,300 institutions participated globally. The evaluation covers a wide range of criteria, including ▲social impact, ▲industry-academia collaboration outcomes, and ▲sustainable campus operations.

In this year’s rankings, Hanyang University was ranked No. 1 worldwide in SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, recognized for its outstanding performance in creative industry-university cooperation models, technology commercialization, and startup ecosystem development. The university also ranked 6th in SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), 7th in SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and 12th in SDG 14 (Life Below Water)—placing within the global top 25 in a total of seven SDG categories, a testament to its tangible societal contributions across diverse sectors.

Notably, Hanyang became the first Korean 프랑스 토토사이트 to enter the global top 20 in SDG 14: Life Below Water. This achievement stems from initiatives led by the Department of Marine Science and Convergent Engineering at the ERICA Campus and the Ansan Green Environment Center, including marine ecosystem research and local environmental campaigns such as the Ansancheon and Sihwa Lake cleanup efforts. The 프랑스 토토사이트 was highly evaluated for its collaborative, community-driven contributions to ecological preservation beyond traditional academic research.

These achievements reflect Hanyang University’s founding philosophy of “Love in Deed and Truth” and its long-standing commitment to social responsibility across education, research, and administration. Hanyang was the first Korean university to establish a volunteer corps, actively participating in disaster relief and community service both domestically and abroad. It also became the first Korean and second Asian university to join the Ashoka U network—an international alliance of universities leading in social innovation—through which it has promoted hands-on educational models.

President Lee Ki-jeong stated, “This success is the outcome of collective efforts by our university community to build a more sustainable future,” adding, “We will continue to put social responsibility and innovation at the core of our mission as we pioneer new models of higher education.”

Going forward, Hanyang University plans to strengthen its SDG-oriented education and ESG-based operations. By expanding global research collaborations and deepening partnerships with local governments such as Seongdong-gu and the city of Ansan, the university aims to lead a practice-based model of higher education that integrates public value and innovation across areas such as urban problem-solving, youth entrepreneurship, and climate action. Through these efforts, Hanyang University is moving toward realizing its vision of becoming a “practice-based university that changes the world” and establishing itself as a global leader in sustainable and innovative higher education.
