Interdisciplinary Science Rankings: Politecnico ranked 30th worldwide

New ranking measures universities’ commitment to interdisciplinary science

The Politecnico di Milano is ranked 30th worldwide and 1st in Italy in the new Interdisciplinary Science Rankings (ISR) 2025 launched by Times Higher Education (THE).

The aim of the ranking is to measure universities’ contributions and commitment to interdisciplinary science, which is considered fundamental for tackling major global challenges. 1,023 universities in 92 countries around the world were analysed; 749 were included in the rankings which, for the 2025 edition, focused on natural and technological sciences, including disciplines such as Computer Science, Engineering, Life Sciences and Physical Sciences. 

Encouraging an interdisciplinary approach to research is fundamental, especially for a technical university like ours. Expanding research groups, broadening the range of humanistic subjects, developing collaboration and joint degree courses with other universities, both in Italy and abroad, are the key to tackling challenges that have a strong impact on society and increasingly position us in a global context. This result certifies the commitment of the last few years and marks the compass to guide future developments.

This achievement represents not only a prestigious result, but also a starting point to further strengthen the role of the Politecnico as a global reference point in multidisciplinary research.
