INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
Meeting of the Conference of European National Librarians (CENL) at Helsinki's House of Estates in the autumn of 2007.
"Scientific researchers do not have to read ranking lists of universities; they know otherwise which institutions of higher learning represent the top of their sectors. This quiet information is based on the actual levels of research and teaching, not PR speeches or calculated publication quantities. The real challenge of the "Top University Project" is to earn an international reputation that spreads to the world of science through internal networks."
