The Universitat Jaume I (UJI) has entered for the first time in the selective [**Times Higher Education (THE) «Young University Rankings 2019**](http://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2019/young-university-rankings#!/page/0/length/25/sort_by/rank/sort_order/asc/cols/stats), which gathers the first 350 institutions from all over the world that are less than 50 years old. This publication, based in London, is considered a world authority on higher education and has selected in this edition 22 Spanish universities as the most excellent in the world with less than 50 years of existence. These include Pompeu Fabra University and Rovira i Virgili University, which are among the top 100. Just after, in third place, in a range between 101 and 150, appear four other Spanish universities, among which is the UJI. In the case of the Valencian Community, the ranking includes the three youngest public universities, with the exception of the Universitat de València and the Politècnica de València, which are now over 50 years old.

In drawing up the ranking of the best young universities, Times Higher Education has used the same indicators used to draw up the global ranking, but gives less weight to indicators linked to reputation, in order to reflect as faithfully as possible the characteristics of the youngest institutions.

The rector, Eva Alcón, pointed out that this new international recognition "corroborates the great work of all the members of our university community" and recalled that this magnificent position of the UJI in the ranking of the youngest universities reaffirms the excellence already evidenced last year by the Sanghai Ranking, when it placed the Universitat Jaume I among the 600 best universities in the world. Alcón highlighted, in the specific case of the Young THE ranking, that "the youth of our institution allows us to be much more agile and effective in the continuous search for excellence".

While the old institutions tend to have more resources and greater reputation in teaching and research, the data accumulated by THE show that universities under 50 are distinguished by their internationalisation: young universities stand out when it comes to internationalisation, agile and small campuses, the commitment to experimentation and its interdisciplinary character. That is the conclusion reached by Times Higher Education (THE). Compared to traditional and more established higher education institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, Bologna or Salamanca, young universities are characterized by their flexible nature, their receptiveness to new ideas and their willingness to constantly reinvent themselves, says THE.

Times Higher Education (THE) is a ranking produced by the London-based weekly magazine of the same name, which specialises in higher education news and information, the results of which can be consulted openly on its website: <https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2019/young-university-rankings#!/page/0/length/25/sort_by/rank/sort_order/asc/cols/stats>
