Why this position

Four pillars, as percentiles

Co-creation30% of the score
18

How often it co-authors with companies, compared with what its own mix of research fields would predict; size makes no difference. 1,154 verified works against about 2,115 expected for its fields (0.55 times the expected rate).

Durability20% of the score
73

How much of its industry work sits in sustained partnerships with the same company group. 53 sustained partnerships: five or more joint works in three or more of the five years.

Scale30% of the score
81

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. 178 company groups on two or more joint works; 53 sustained partnerships.

Breadth20% of the score
42

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 (53.0) is the weighted average of the four percentiles. Rank 464 of 1,038 overall; 66 of 169 in China; 138 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.

656counted in the overall index

498 of its 1,154 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.

Who it works with

Company partners, 2021 to 2025

Capital Medical University co-authored verified work with 459 company groups, consortium papers aside: 178 of them on two or more works, and 53 as sustained partners.

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.

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.

Clinical trials (reported, not scored)

6 industry-partnered clinical trials

Trials starting 2021 to 2025 in ClinicalTrials.gov in which a company and this university are the sponsor and a collaborator. Names are matched exactly, so a trial registered only under an affiliated hospital's own name is not counted here, and the count can be well below the university's real trial activity. Trials do not enter the score.

Examples:

  • NCT07152639 Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of EEC for the Diagnosis of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection in People Aged 3 Years and Above with Chengdu CoenBiotech Co., Ltd, 2025
  • NCT07764653 Technetium Tc 99m Sulfur Colloid Injection for Tracing Sentinel Nodes in Breast Cancer with HTA Co., Ltd., 2024
  • NCT05866107 App and Body Fat Scale in the Management of Overweight Patients with Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, 2023
  • NCT06305104 Clinical Trial to Explore the Skin Test Dosage of EEC in People Aged 18 to 65 Years Old and the Safety and Preliminary Efficacy in People Aged 3 to 75 Years Old. with Chengdu CoenBiotech Co., Ltd, 2023
  • NCT06224608 Phase I Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety of Recombinant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Fusion Protein (EEC) in Healthy Adults Aged 18-65 and Patients With Pulmonary Tuberculosis with Chengdu CoenBiotech Co., Ltd, 2023
  • NCT05343832 Detection Evaluation of a Novel Blood-based DNA Methylation Assay in Early-stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients with Genetron Health, 2021

Funded partnerships (reported, not scored)

Publicly funded research projects with companies

European Union: 2 Horizon projects with company partners

Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe projects starting 2021-2025 in which this university and at least one company take part (12 distinct companies). Company partners include: Ankar Pharma SL, Biotalentum Tudasfejleszto KFT, Cyanagen Srl, Circadian Therapeutics Ltd, D Young & Co LLP, G.tec Medical Engineering GmbH.

  • TClock4AD Targeting Circadian Clock Dysfunction in Alzheimer’s Disease 2023, 7 companies
  • CombiDiag Peripheral Biomarker Based Combinatorial Early Diagnostics for Dementia 2023, 5 companies

Shown for context from the public grant registries; they do not enter the score in Edition 1. Comparable open registries of company partners exist for the European Union and the United Kingdom but not yet for most other research systems, and in some countries national research organisations take part on behalf of university laboratories, so these counts are not comparable between countries.

Funded and co-publishing. Of the funded company partners that match an ICI company group, 1 also appear in this university's verified co-authorship record (Alnylam Pharmaceuticals) and 4 are funded partners not yet visible in it. About 42% of funded company names could be matched to a company group; the rest are counted, not guessed. Sources: UKRI Gateway to Research harvested 4 Oct 2026; CORDIS bulk files of 2026-10-12 (latest record update 2026-06-10). Funded partnerships cover UK (UKRI Gateway to Research) and EU (Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe, CORDIS) projects starting 2021 to 2025 only. They are reported, never scored, and a funder record outside these two sources is not visible here.

Evidence checked

1,426 verified company links

Each counted link (one work, this university and one company) was confirmed against the affiliation text its author wrote; 1,190 of 2,616 candidate links were set aside.

Why links were set aside
  • 764 company name not written in the author's affiliation
  • 125 part of a university or public institute's own unit
  • 85 ordinary-word name without a company suffix
  • 59 not an industry organisation
  • 45 excluded after hand audit: Matched from the Vanke School of Public Health and a street address
  • 23 a place or common word that failed its stricter rule
  • 89 for other reasons: smaller hand-audit findings, and links the current open record no longer supports

GRP Partnership Intelligence Platform

Where Capital Medical University'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.
