How many world-class institutions does Slovenia hold?

Average quality and elite capacity disagree by construction, and both are worth knowing: the first is decided by a country's whole institution population, the second counts the institutions it holds at the top. One square per institution.

Standing among countries2022-nowWhere that sitsAll time
Average qualityits whole institution population #36 of 189 #35 of 203
Elite capacitythe institutions it holds at the top #39 of 204 #39 of 216

Elite capacity counts a country's institutions by their worldwide rank, weighted so a place at #1 counts for more than one at #480. Countries under 100 fractional works are left out.

501st to 1,000th1

Bands are exclusive, so the squares add up to 1 (the institutions it holds in the world top 1,000), not to four times it.

Which universities in Slovenia lead research?

University of Ljubljana, Jožef Stefan Institute and University of Maribor rank highest in Slovenia on research quality in 2022-now.
