The ranking, prepared by Stanford University in collaboration with publishing house Elsevier, covers achievements from the last year and the entire scientific career. The scientists represent 22 scientific fields and as many as 174 research areas, covering a wide range of global research. 

The assessment is based on a number of indicators, including the number of citations, co-authorship of articles, the Hirsch index, and the authors' positions in scientific institutions. In this way, the ranking provides a more accurate reflection of the actual impact of the scientists' work.

The recognition includes two categories: career-long impact and this year's impact. For their impressive career-long achievements, we celebrate Professor Emeritus Eric Arnould, Professor Emeritus Kristian Möller, and Professor Rebecca Piekkari

This year's impact list shines a spotlight on the outstanding contributions of Associate Professors Katri Kauppi and Ewald Kibler, as well as Professors Henri Schildt and Minna Halme. Notably, Arnould, Möller, and Piekkari also appear in this category, underscoring their continued influence in their respective fields. 

Heartfelt congratulations to all! We are fortunate to have such an exceptional team at our school.
