Foundation: 1997
Mission: Through its Schools – Engineering and Architecture, Business, Information Technology, Social Work, Art and Design, and Music – the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts provides sound subject-specific education and research in Central Switzerland. It prepares its students for a professional career in their chosen field and facilitates their acquisition of the skills needed for innovative, creative and entrepreneurial thinking and action. With its strong, practically based approach and interdisciplinary excellence, the University produces experts who are capable of mastering the challenges of the 21st century.
Vision: The high quality and scholarly depth of our teaching and research make our University an attractive choice and are enabling it to expand. The strength of our specialisations and our interdisciplinary topic clusters are recognised in Central Switzerland and beyond, both nationally and internationally. We adopt a lateral and interconnected approach to thought and action. This is reflected in the University's extensive range of practically oriented degree and continuing education programmes and in its research and development activities. We support a culture of commitment, openness and transparency amongst our staff and students, and towards our partners
The following data gives a quick reading on the scientific performance in the last years. The research ranking refers to the volume, impact and quality of the institution's research output. The innovation ranking is calculated on the number of patent applications of the institution and the citations that its research output receives from patents. Finally, the societal ranking is based on the number of pages of the institution's website and the number of backlinks and mentions from social networks.
The result of the evaluation of the institution can be compared to obtain a view of the country, the region to which it belongs and the institutions of the world, placing it in their respective positions.
We have divided the scientific output of the institution into 19 large areas of knowledge and the following table shows only the ranks in different territorial domains achieved by the institution in each of the areas. For an institution to have a presence in an area, it is necessary that it exceed in the last year a minimum output threshold equivalent to twice the percentage that this area represents in the world. If you need scientific indicators on these areas visit Scopus and/or SciVal.
| Area | World | Western Europe | OECD | Switzerland |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business, Management and Accounting | 1534th | 512th | 979th | 15th |
| Computer Science | 3603rd | 922nd | 1935th | 29th |
| Energy | 2530th | 662nd | 1336th | 16th |
| Environmental Science | 2842nd | 838th | 1602nd | 24th |
These are the journals used by the institution's researchers to publish their work in the last year. The size of each circle represents the value of the SJR of the publication, and its spatial position represents its subject matter.
This visualizatión allows you to identify the knowledge areas where the institution has published, recognize the prestige of the scientific journals in which the institution knowledge has been published, and identify predominant scientific communities.
