โThis milestone affirms PRMSUโs steady pursuit of excellence and innovation in addressing real-world challenges through instruction, research, extension and production,โ said University President Dr. Roy N. Villalobos.
โWe are proud to see our initiatives in sustainability, inclusivity, and global responsiveness recognized on the world stage, and we remain committed to advancing transformative solutions for communities we serve,โ he added.
The WURI rankings evaluate universities based on their innovative contributions beyond traditional academic metrics, focusing on practical impact, societal relevance, and creative approaches to global issues.
PRMSUโs improved ranking from Top 270 in 2025 to Top 209 in 2026 underscores its growing influence as a forward-looking institution dedicated to innovation, resilience, and global engagement.
Out of 13,211 entries submitted by 1,927 universities and higher education institutions in 96 countries worldwide, the WURI recognized only the Top 100 entries in each of the 24 categories this year.
With this achievement, PRMSU continues to position itself among the worldโs leading universities that champion meaningful innovation, inclusive development, and sustainable progress. #
