Carlos Hilado Memorial State University (CHMSU) has secured a place among the world’s most innovative institutions, ranking 253rd globally in the 2026 World University Rankings for Innovation (WURI).
This places CHMSU firmly within the Global Top 500 Innovative Universities, a recognition that goes beyond academic metrics to honor institutions creating meaningful, real-world impact through research, ethics, and community engagement, a press release from the university said Wednesday, May 6.
The university also broke into the Top 100 in four specific innovation categories, competing alongside major research institutions across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
CHMSU ranked 17th for Crisis Management, 45th for Ethics and Integrity, 51st in Industrial Application, and 98th in Interdisciplinary, Convergent, and Integrated Research.
These achievements reflect CHMSU’s Global GREEN University thrust — Good Governance, Research-Oriented, Extension-Driven, Education for Sustainable Development, and Nation-Building — and affirm the university’s growing stature as a leading innovation-driven state university in the Philippines and globally, the press release said.*
