Why this position

Four pillars, as percentiles

Co-creation30% of the score
79

How often it co-authors with companies, compared with what its own mix of research fields would predict; size makes no difference. 1,011 verified works against about 748 expected for its fields (1.35 times the expected rate).

Durability20% of the score
95

How much of its industry work sits in sustained partnerships with the same company group. 29 sustained partnerships: five or more joint works in three or more of the five years.

Scale30% of the score
72

The size of its industry network: company groups on two or more works, sustained partnerships, and its place in the worldwide network of universities and companies. 102 company groups on two or more joint works; 29 sustained partnerships.

Breadth20% of the score
15

How varied its partners are, judged by each company's main research field. Measured across the main research fields of all the company groups it worked with.

Each pillar is a percentile among the 1,038 ranked universities: a value of 80 means a higher value than about 80 in every 100 of them. The ICI score (67.2) is the weighted average of the four percentiles. Rank 226 of 1,038 overall; 26 of 169 in China; 54 of 343 in Asia-Pacific. Standing bands: Platinum for ranks 1 to 100, Gold 101 to 300, Silver 301 to 600. How the index is built →

Where it works with industry

Sector strengths

Verified industry works by sector, with its position in each sector ranking. A university is ranked in a sector once it has at least 20 verified works there; sectors with fewer than 50 eligible universities are provisional.

186.5counted in the overall index

824.5 of its 1,011 verified industry works fall within the 21 sectors. The rest have research topics that belong to no industry sector (basic science, for example) or are consortium papers with 100 or more authors, which the sector indices leave out; all of them count fully in the overall index.

A company group brings together a company's subsidiaries and research labs under one name. A work counts half when its only company author also holds a post at this university. Consortium papers with 100 or more authors are left out of this table.

Examples of its work with industry

Most-cited verified joint works

Its most-cited verified works with 30 or fewer authors, leaving out guidelines and consensus statements. Citation counts are those of the open scholarly record at harvest. Each title links to the work.

Over time

Verified industry works by year

147.52021

2025 is not yet complete: papers published late in the year are still being added to the open record, and coverage may not be equally complete for every university, so compare years with care. A work counts half when its only company author also holds a post at the university, so some totals end in .5.

Evidence checked

1,357 verified company links

Each counted link (one work, this university and one company) was confirmed against the affiliation text its author wrote; 570 of 1,927 candidate links were set aside.

Why links were set aside
  • 366 company name not written in the author's affiliation
  • 47 part of a university or public institute's own unit
  • 43 ordinary-word name without a company suffix
  • 21 refresh_university_not_on_work
  • 18 excluded after hand audit: Matched from a university research centre
  • 13 excluded after hand audit: Generic name matched from other company names
  • 62 for other reasons: smaller hand-audit findings, and links the current open record no longer supports

If a partner is missing or should not be here, send the evidence; corrections are free and reviewed against the public record.

GRP Partnership Intelligence Platform

Where Beijing University of Chemical Technology's collaboration could go next

This profile is free and public, and it stays that way. Beyond it, the GRP Partnership Intelligence Platform, a partner service arranged with each university, sets your record in both GRP indices beside the peers you choose: the universities and companies your peers work with that you do not, live funding calls matched to your strengths, the EU projects your peers have won, and a brief ready for your executive. It opens to partner universities on Monday 19 October 2026: enquire, and the GRP team will confirm availability and pricing for your university.

Something wrong? Every figure comes from the public record and can be checked. If a partner is missing or should not be there, tell us and we will review it with the evidence. The 2027 edition will be calculated with the same published methodology. The window for universities to submit data for it is open now: submit data for the 2027 edition. 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.
