Hi Simon; thanks for your mail. The Carnegie rankings are also very problematic, but they are frequently used as a shorthand. I tried to find something equivalent and up-to-date for European universities [1], but drew a blank - pointers would be welcome.
Thanks, Greg [1] Which will still, hopefully, include UK universities... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Waldman Simon" <sm...@hw.ac.uk> To:"Software Carpentry Discussion" <discuss@lists.software-carpentry.org> Cc: Sent:Fri, 1 Sep 2017 06:29:28 +0000 Subject:Re: [Discuss] who we're reaching > I'd be very interested in > seeing a similar breakdown for other countries, e.g., Russell Group vs. others in > the UK. Please be very careful in ascribing meaning to whether a UK university is in the Russell Group or not - it's a largely archaic grouping (Maybe equivalent to Ivy League? Not sure.). While the Russell Group members are indeed well-regarded, research-heavy, institutions, there are many such outside the Group as well.
