Subject: Request for contacts for QS World Rankings - Deadline Thursday 23 Jan

Dear members of Professorial Staff,

QS World University Rankings

I have been asked to collate the annual update for the QS World University Rankings.  In 2019, Strathclyde ranked 296th overall and the University is keen to improve on this as it impacts significantly on international recruitment.

To this end, please would you add the details of your new, key strategic, international academic and industry partners on to the attached (draft) spreadsheets.  International contacts are requested as they carry a much higher weighting towards the rankings.

I have attached a separate spreadsheet from 2019 showing the names returned last year (note there were no employer names submitted last year).  QS will contact a sample of the new names we supply with a survey in order to compile the league table at www.topuniversities.com<http://www.topuniversities.com>.


Because of the data protection law, the deadline is extremely tight to allow Strategy and Policy time to gain consent from each contact before passing details on to QS.  Please update the attached spreadsheet  and return it to me by Thursday 23rd January 2020.  I will then collate the departmental response and return it to Strategy and Policy.

The results of the surveys of contacts currently account for 50% of the total points awarded to a university score in the table. These surveys are therefore extremely influential - hence the University's interest in ensuring the appropriateness and currency of the sample.
Detailed analyses of the University's performance in UK and World university rankings is available at: Strategy and Policy Portal<https://moss.strath.ac.uk/stratpolicy/leaguetables2019/SitePages/StrathDefault.aspx>

If you have any questions, please let me know.
I really appreciate your help with this,
Gabrielle
