Industry Partnership Blueprint · Industry Collaboration Index

Your industry network, read for a decision.

The Industry Collaboration Index is free and public. The Blueprint is for the teams who act on it: partnership, research and innovation offices. It opens with a short decision brief, then names every verified company partner, the companies publishing with your peers that are not visible with your institution in the observed record, and the colleagues inside your university who carry the work.

What is inside

A decision brief, then the evidence

Every figure traces to a verified work in the open scholarly record. Your standing is your published record, unchanged. Publication and funding records show activity, not intent, so every suggestion is labelled as evidence, inference or something only you can confirm.

1

Decision brief

Three to five relationships to pursue, strengthen or review: the evidence, what GRP infers, what only you can confirm, your own colleagues as a route, and a first step.

2

Standing

Your published position with its sensitivity range, the pillars, and your five closest peers.

3

Network

Every verified company group you work with, joint works year by year, and the sectors behind each.

4

Observed publication activity

Where joint publication is increasing or declining since 2021, as a prompt to investigate, never as a verdict.

5

Opportunities

Company groups publishing repeatedly with your ten closest peers that are not visible with your institution in the observed record.

6

Champions and sectors

The colleagues at your university who carry the industry work, and your position in each sector index.

7

Funded partnerships

UK and EU funded projects with companies, and which of those companies also appear in the co-authorship record.

8

Evidence and verification

The most-cited joint works, industry-partnered trials, every removed link and why, and the full ledgers as appendices.

A real decision brief, redacted

These pages are a redacted extract of a real Blueprint: the structure, evidence types and wording are as delivered; the university, every company group, every peer university and every person are replaced by labels, and work titles are withheld. They show no rank, score, standing band, sensitivity range, sector position or award status. Read the sample as a page or download it as a PDF.

What it never does

The index is free, public and independent. No commercial relationship with any university or company changes any position, and no one can pay to be included, excluded or moved. The Blueprint cannot move any university's position, band or score. Your published profile stays free and public whatever you decide.

  • Delivered as PDFs within three working days from scope confirmation.
  • Invoice on delivery, no card required.
  • Built from the same frozen Edition 1 data as the public index.
  • Peer reads never name individual researchers at other universities.

Enquire

Tell us the decision first; we suggest the scope.

Available from launch day. The Blueprint can be requested from 09:00 BST, Thursday 15 October 2026, when the results for every university are public. Nothing is sold or delivered before then, so no university sees a result early.
