We are in one of the best locations in Europe, and we are better than many departments, for example in the US and the UK,&#8221; says Klemens Kappel, who hopes that philosophy can maintain its high ranking.<\/p>\n<h3>Partners keeping their eye on the rankings<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to the question of how a ranking as the 29th best in the world can benefit, he responds:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It may be important for researchers and students abroad who are looking for partners, or who are considering doing research at the University of Copenhagen. They also see the rankings,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p>And the work to make contact with others may be easier:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When we seek out people and universities around the world and ask them if they will be our partners in a research project that we are about to apply for funding for, it is good to be able to point to a high ranking. It gives you respect,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the recognition also means something within the University of Copenhagen&#8217;s own walls.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At our faculty they will be happy to say that the section for philosophy is one of the highest ranked in the world,&#8221; says Klemens Kappel.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Banner","img":false,"url":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":46,"name":"Science","slug":"science","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":46,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":831,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[{"term_id":374,"name":"Filosofi","slug":"filosofi","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":374,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":14,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":384,"name":"philosophy","slug":"philosophy","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":384,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":371,"name":"rankings","slug":"rankings","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":371,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":12,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":383,"name":"rankings","slug":"rankings-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":383,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":13,"filter":"raw"}],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":18,"name":"Feature Article","slug":"feature_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":18,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":1200,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/aristoteles_smiler-2.gif","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46515"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46515\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46532,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46515\/revisions\/46532"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
