註1: U21 Ranking of National Higher Education Systems 2019
報告是通過四個領域 (資源Resources，環境Environment，連通性Connectivity和生產Output)來評估每個國家高等教育系統的排名地位。
U21 (Universitas 21) is a network of research-intensive universities that empowers its members to share excellence, collaborate across borders and nurture global knowledge exchange. Committed to promoting the value of internationalization and multinational collaboration, U21 facilitates the delivery of programs, activities and initiatives, which could not be delivered through a single university or via bi-lateral agreements.
Since 2012, Universitas 21 has commissioned the "U21 Ranking of National Higher Education Systems". This ranking aims to show which countries create a "strong environment" that allows universities to contribute to growth, provide a high-quality student experience and help institutions compete globally. It evaluates the standing of national higher education systems by providing rankings in four broad areas: resources, environment, connectivity and output. The ranking is then adjusted by GDP per capita, which allows countries to be compared to others at a similar stage of economic development.[Universitas 21 is a United Nations Academic Impact Partner.

註3: The Immigrant-Unicorn Connection
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-immigrant-unicorn-connection-1543534312
Stuart Anderson, executive director of the National Foundation for American Policy. Nov, 2018:
The American Dream is alive and well - Most billion-dollar startups have foreign-born founders. The Author recently conducted a study of 91 U.S. “unicorns” - startups with a market value of $1 billion or more. More than half of those companies were started by immigrants.
Unsurprisingly, U.S. universities are a leading source for future entrepreneurs. Nearly a quarter (20 of 91) of the companies had a founder who first came to America as an international student. Overall, 50 of 91 unicorns had immigrant founders from countries as follow:
Canada (9), Israel (9), India (8), UK (7), China (6), and Germany (4). France (3), Ireland (3), Russia (3).
As of Oct. 1 2018 the collective value of those 50 immigrant-founded startups was $248 billion. The immigrant-founded companies employ an average of more than 1,200 people each. Of those 50 immigrant-founded startups was $248 billion. The immigrant-founded companies employ an average of more than 1,200 people each.
