U100 is an open and transparent data platform designed to advance public understanding of global excellence in higher education. Grounded in the principle that trusted, well structured information should be accessible as a shared public good, EduDataLabs U100 curates and organises openly available ranking data to provide a single, comparable view of the world’s leading universities. It brings together the global Top 100 institutions as identified by the four most established and widely referenced ranking systems: QS World University Rankings, Times Higher Education World University Rankings, Academic Ranking of World Universities, and U.S. News & World Report Best Global Universities Rankings.
