BMC's International Collaboration for SDG Data Gathering and Measurement

BMC leverages international partnerships to benchmark its performance and contribute to global data pools.

• Strategic Partnerships for Global Alignment and SDG Progress: BMC has made significant, measurable progress in aligning its core practices, education, research, and institutional operations, with the SDGs. A key element of this strategy is active participation in international cooperation focused on gathering and benchmarking data relevant to the SDGs. BMC maintains strategic collaborations with leading global and domestic ranking and evaluation bodies, including Times Higher Education (THE), Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), and local entities like the National Center for Academic Accreditation and Evaluation (NCAAA) and Saudi Global Ranking (SGR).

The partnership with QS provides BMC with access to world-class analytics and insights, allowing the institution to rigorously measure its academic and institutional performance against global peers. This process provides a vital roadmap for continuous improvement and ensures BMC’s practices align with global standards, directly informing strategies to achieve and contribute to the SDGs.

Furthermore, BMC's engagement with THE for its World and SDG Impact Rankings demonstrates a commitment to international excellence. Participating in these rankings allows the college to benchmark its social impact and educational quality on a global scale, enhancing its visibility and providing a self-assessment tool to pinpoint strengths and areas for development in relation to the SDGs.

Beyond ranking bodies, BMC has expanded its partnerships with a wide array of domestic, regional, and international universities. These collaborations are essential for knowledge exchange and best practice sharing, ensuring BMC’s educational programs and research initiatives are competitive, innovative, and aligned with global trends. Ultimately, these strategic partnerships are central to BMC’s commitment to excellence, sustainability, and global engagement. They enable BMC to benchmark performance, foster a culture of continuous improvement, and substantially enhance its contribution to the SDGs on the global academic stage.

• Joint Research Initiatives: Collaborative research with international universities often involves standardized data collection methodologies, allowing for comparative analysis of health trends, educational outcomes, and the effectiveness of interventions, contributing to a global knowledge base for the SDGs.
