| Hello Nature Index readers, The Nature Index Young Universities supplement is out, and we are excited to share its insights with you. From highly targeted recruitment strategies to a focus on innovation and researcher freedom, the supplement explores how the leading young universities are competing with their older peers. |

| |
| Their goals may be different, and so may the paths they are taking to reach them, but the universities aged 50 and under featured here are proof that youth need not be a barrier to strong research performance. |
| |
 | The brightest young universities are deliberate in developing a strong sense of their purpose, and leave researchers to chart an independent course. NATURE INDEX | 7 minute read | |

 | Young universities need to identify their unique attributes and communicate their value to ambitious researchers. NATURE INDEX | 5 minute read | |

 | Less-established universities form strong business links to learn what the market needs. NATURE INDEX | 5 minute read | |

 | In bioimaging, high-energy physics, geoscience and chemistry, these young universities are making their mark. NATURE INDEX | 6 minute read | |

| Among the leading 75 young universities in the Nature Index, one of the youngest, the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in China, had the second-highest output in the 82 selected journals tracked by the index in 2020, graphed here by our key metric, Share. At 221.61, SUSTech's Share was slightly ahead of Singapore's Nanyang Technological University, with a Share of 221.41. The University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the leading young university in the index, had almost double the Share of SUSTech (425.66) in 2020. For contrast, the leading institution in the Nature Index, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, had a 2020 Share of 1,886.71.

As a group, young universities cluster in the lower ranks of the Nature Index. They are relatively evenly spread across the age bands under 50, except the youngest. The Asia-Pacific region, specifically China, has the greatest number of young universities. |  |
