The QS Global Rankings Advisory Board is an independent panel whose remit is to advise QS on any aspect of university rankings, including the methods used to produce them, possible new rankings, and the effect and impact of rankings around the world. We look for regional and subject diversity, as well as specific expertise in areas.
It is convened by Dr Alison Lloyd, Associate Provost (Institutional Data and Research) at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). Dr Ludovic Highman, Associate Professor in Higher Education Management at the University of Bath acts as Secretary of the Board.
