De Xangai chegam notícias dos mais recentes rankings universitários. As melhores universidades portuguesas são, por esta ordem, Lisboa, Porto e Coimbra. Grande azar para a FCT: Nos rankings por disciplina aparecem as Engenharias da Universidade de Lisboa (onde está a sede do Instituto de Telecomunicações que foi chumbado pela FCT), a Matemática da Universidade de Lisboa (onde a FCT chumbou vários centros) e a Física da Universidade do Minho (cujo Centro de Física foi também chumbado pela FCT). Isto é, o que a FCT diz que é medíocre é aquilo que os melhores rankings internacionais dizem que é excelente! É entre outras, por essa razão que a "avaliação" da FCT tem de ser escrita entre aspas: usa o nome de avaliação sem que a designação tenha a ver com o conceito internacionalmente aceite. Quem quer verdadeiramente uma avaliação, tem de rejeitar a "avaliação" da actual FCT.
