Research focusing on international reputation is one of the main objectives for the World 100 Reputation Network.

Research informs practice, explains budgetary decisions, progresses strategy, and enables reputation managers to excel in their jobs. That is why our research projects are much valued by members and are at the heart of what we do.

Reputation is fast moving, and universities are constantly forced to evaluate their actions, friends and audiences. The Network engages in at least one annual research project that pushes forward the boundaries of knowledge around reputation and helps those in charge of their university’s image to understand it, and better amplify it.

Network members benefit from access to current and previous research and members may also share the research with colleagues of the university.

“The World 100 Reputation Network is a group of the best universities in the world, undertaking research that enhances professional relations and strategy.”
