The Times Higher Education (THE) has published THE Impact Rankings 2023. The project evaluates universities by their impact on the sustainable development of society and their contribution to achieving the sustainable development goals defined by the United Nations: for example, growth of welfare and employment levels; poverty alleviation; improvement of public education; promotion of healthy lifestyles; improvement of the economy.

More than 1,500 universities from 112 countries are represented in the rating, including 86 Russian universities. This year, Immanuel Kant Federal University managed to improve its position and rank 401-600 in the world (in 2022 the university was represented at positions 601-800).

The greatest contribution on the part of BFU was ensured in the achievement of the goals in the field of sustainable development:

Also among the university's top positions are:

Alexander Fedorov, IKBFU Rector:

The ranking is one of the factors of choice for applicants — including international students, the trust of potential partners, and a sign of belonging to the global academic community. For example, IKBFU improved its position in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings. In the fifth edition of THE Impact Rankings 2023, we are in the 401-600 position in the world (601-800 last year) and we are in the top 15 universities representing the Russian Federation.
