Briefing on THE Impact Rankings 2026

To highlight the University’s achievements and commitment to social responsibility and sustainable development, IPAO hosted an online briefing session on the 2026 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings exercise on 2 June.

Over a hundred academic staff and administrative colleagues attended the session, where IPAO representatives provided a comprehensive overview of the Impact Rankings and the data collection requirements. With the collective efforts of the PolyU community, including faculties, schools, as well as academic and non-academic departments, the gathered evidence will be invaluable in assessing PolyU’s performance in achieving the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals, in four broad areas: research, teaching, outreach and governance.
