As part of the University of Lisbon, Técnico Lisboa – a leading Portuguese engineering and technology school – has monitored and examined rankings through its Rankings Observatory in the context of strategic options, but institutional transformations have been an obstacle to exactly measure Técnico’s worth or weight in the context of the University of Lisbon. Those transformations have not contributed to leverage the positioning of the University of Lisbon in major rankings either. This paper discusses the impact of institutional transformations on the University of Lisbon and Técnico in rankings, describes attempts made by Técnico to overcome these constraints and gives examples of how Técnico applies rankings as internal benchmark tools towards continuous improvement.Editorial Universitat Politècnica de ValènciaRepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20232023-06-16book parthttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_3248VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPartapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/202640reponame:RiuNet.

As part of the University of Lisbon, Técnico Lisboa – a leading Portuguese engineering and technology school – has monitored and examined rankings through its Rankings Observatory in the context of strategic options, but institutional transformations have been an obstacle to exactly measure Técnico’s worth or weight in the context of the University of Lisbon. Those transformations have not contributed to leverage the positioning of the University of Lisbon in major rankings either.
