McMaster University has placed 17th in the world in The Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings, which recognizes the important contributions universities make to their communities, countries and on an international scale.
This is the second year for the ranking, based on the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are a call to action to end poverty and hunger, protect the planet, and ensure healthy lives, peace and prosperity by the year 2030. They are designed to address the most serious challenges of our time.
McMaster has been recognized for its commitment to the development goals and performed well across key SDG categories, including good health and well-being and decent work and economic growth, placing first among Canadian universities in both.
