CSRankings evaluates institutions solely based on publications in the world’s most selective and prestigious computer science conferences, providing an objective measure of scientific impact. Although Europe hosts more than 1,400 active computer science research organisations, only top performers make the ranking.
The INSAIT assessment covers publications from 2023 to the present and includes research areas such as computer vision, robotics, machine learning, natural language processing and algorithms. In some fields, the institute ranks even higher, placing sixth in Europe in computer vision.
