A Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) foi avaliada entre as 200 melhores instituições de Ensino Superior do mundo. Em um ranking semestral organizado pelo Ministério da Educação da Espanha com 17 mil participantes, a universidade gaúcha conquistou a 152ª posição. No Brasil, a Universidade de São Paulo ocupa a melhor colocação (38ª).

O índice leva em conta itens como a qualidade das pesquisas acadêmicas e o prestígio em âmbito internacional. Também avalia o comprometimento dos professores, a relação da instituição com a comunidade e a qualidade do diálogo entre a universidade e setores da economia.

O ranking promovido desde 2004 pelo governo espanhol foi liderado em sua última edição pelas universidades americanas, que ocuparam as 10 primeiras posições. O Instituto de Tecnologia de Massachusetts (MIT, na sigla em inglês) angariou o posto de melhor universidade, seguido por Harvard e por Stanford.
