The new U-Multirank report on science and technology universities is out. The EU supported project is what you might expect, cumbersome, complicated and constructed to avoid any unpleasant comparisons. For a start, there is no actual ranking just a record of how universities go on 14 attributes, from “very good” to “weak”, denoted by blobs of varying size.

Swinburne U, for an unstated reason gets no blobs for teaching and learning but gets biggish ones for the various research, knowledge transfer and international orientation categories.

UTS does much the same, while QUT gets solid scores sorry blobs across all categories, including the teaching-ones.
