Coronavirus: a message to our global community

At a time of unprecedented disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, all of THE’s teams have adapted to support the global higher education community however we can.

The public health crisis has highlighted the vital role that universities play around the world.

Epidemiologists are shaping government responses; virologists are driving the search for vaccines; and institutions are helping local communities, releasing clinical staff to front-line healthcare and supporting students through an exceptionally difficult period.

At THE we have adapted our own approach to our work with and for universities, too.

All the latest news on Covid-19

Our journalists are working as hard as ever to bring you the latest developments as we navigate our way through these extraordinary events. While our subscribers have access to all of our content all the time, we will continue to make breaking news coverage on the impact of coronavirus free to all, to provide the widest possible service during this period.

Free virtual events

As vital social distancing and lockdowns continue, we have taken our World Summit Series online, with free virtual summits and forums taking place throughout the coming months. We hope you will join us to share, explore and challenge the latest insights and developments in global higher education. Find out more on our Events pages. 

Data insight tools

Our second THE Impact Ranking, released in April 2020, is a bold new way of looking at universities’ global impact through the lens of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The focus of this unique ranking feels timelier than ever, shining a light on the many ways in which universities contribute to solving the world’s greatest shared challenges. To support universities during this difficult period, we are offering a minimum of 15 per cent off our new Impact data tool, the SDG Impact Dashboard, and further discounts for existing DataPoints customers.
