Ben Sowter, QS Research Director says: "Russia's regional domination is undisputed despite most of its universities rank lower than last year. Central Asian countries, such as Kazakhstan, have lost some ground in this edition which puts more emphasis on international research collaborations. Turkey's performance remains stable while Poland, Lithuania, Romania and Hungary see nearly all their ranked universities improve. There are 41  brand new entries in this edition."
