KAIST Makes a List of Top Ten Most Innovative Universities around the World Reuters News released a list of the World’s Top 100 Most Innovative Universities on September 15, 2015. Nine of the top ten universities on the list were American institutions. KAIST took tenth place, the only non-American and Asian university to do so. Stanford University ranked first, followed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in second, and Harvard University in third. The inaugural Reuters Top 100 survey based its rankings on ten criteria: patent volume, patent successes, global patents, patent citations, patent citation impact, percent of patents cited, patent to article citation impact, industry article citation impact, percent of industry collaborative articles, and the total number of science papers. Japan had nine universities in the survey, more than all countries except for the United States. South Korea has a total of eight universities on the list including Pohang University of Science and Technology, Seoul National University, Yonsei University, and Hanyang University.
