  We present Wikipedia Ranking of World Universities (WRWU) based on analysis
of networks of 24 Wikipedia editions collected in May 2017. With PageRank and
CheiRank algorithms we determine ranking of universities averaged over cultural
views of these editions. The comparison with the Shanghai ranking gives overlap
of 60% for top 100 universities showing that WRWU gives more significance to
their historical development. We show that the new reduced Google matrix
algorithm allows to determine interactions between leading universities on a
scale of ten centuries. This approach also determines the influence of specific
universities on world countries. We also compare different cultural views of
Wikipedia editions on significance and influence of universities.
