The W100 International Reputation Tracker, this year’s network research project, is continuing with the survey of Resources and Structures still open for members to complete, and a new survey of global education agents now opening.

Reputation remains a key driver of university performance, and those universities strongly focused on raising global profile continue to advance, according to the latest QS Rankings published on 10 June.

Reputation management is key to the response of universities to the Covid-19 pandemic.  The W100 Network is working with members to share intelligence and experiences during this challenging period.

As the dust begins to settle on universities, and the immediate communications drive dries up, is academia in the firing line?

We hosted webinars for our experts to discuss the data collected in March, and examine how 65 leading global universities have managed reputation and stakeholders so far during the COVID-19 crisis.
