The 2026 World University Rankings for Innovation (WURI) were officially announced this week (May 6–7) during the 6th Hanseatic League of Universities (HLU) Annual Conference and Global Rankings Announcement Ceremony, hosted by National Chi Nan University (NCNU). A total of 1,927 universities worldwide participated in this year's rankings, submitting 13,211 innovation cases for evaluation across 96 countries. NCNU achieved a remarkable milestone, rising to 69th place globally, a significant improvement of 30 positions from its 99th-place ranking in 2025. This achievement places NCNU among the universities in Taiwan with the most notable improvements in international higher education rankings in recent years. It also marks the first time that a Taiwanese higher education institution has hosted this major global event dedicated to university innovation, making the occasion particularly significant.
NCNU President Wu Tung-Hsing stated that the university's rise in the global rankings, together with its recognition in eight categories among the world's top 50, represents not only the collective efforts of its faculty members and students but also demonstrates NCNU's steady transformation from a regional university into an innovative institution with global influence. In response to the ongoing transformation of higher education and the growing emphasis on sustainability, NCNU will continue to use smart governance as its oar and sustainable resilience as its sail, charting a new course for Taiwanese higher education on the global stage.
