Research Collaboration Index 2026: #948 of 1,195 · View the RCI profile →
Where it works with industry
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.
Not yet ranked in any sector: a sector ranking needs at least 20 verified works in the sector. Its largest sector is Agriculture and Food Technology, with 8.
17 of its 97 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
Universidad de Costa Rica co-authored verified work with 71 company groups, consortium papers aside: 17 of them on two or more works.
| Company group | Based in | Company's main research field | Joint works | Years with a joint work |

| Clínica MEDS | Chile | Medicine | 4 | 2 of 5 |

| Amazon | United States | Computer Science | 3 | 3 of 5 |
| Roche | Switzerland | Medicine | 3 | 3 of 5 |
| AMVAC Chemical | United States | Not recorded | 2 | 1 of 5 |
| Zinpro | United States | Agricultural and Biological Sciences | 2 | 2 of 5 |
| Idener | Spain | Engineering | 2 | 1 of 5 |

| Reneco | United Arab Emirates | Environmental Science | 2 | 2 of 5 |
| Nvidia | United States | Computer Science | 2 | 2 of 5 |
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
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
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.
Funded partnerships (reported, not scored)
Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe projects starting 2021-2025 in which this university and at least one company take part (9 distinct companies). Company partners include: Acies Bio Biotehnoloske Raziskave In Razvoj d.o.o., Agromillora Iberia, S.l.u., Gimnogravida Preparacao Para Parto e Maternidade Lda, Mimetas BV, Nordic Bioscience A/s, Soluciones Energeticas Levante SL.
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.
Evidence checked
Each counted link (one work, this university and one company) was confirmed against the affiliation text its author wrote; 124 of 236 candidate links were set aside.
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
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.

In the Research Collaboration Index 2026, Universidad de Costa Rica ranks #948 of 1,195. It measures the whole research network, not only industry.
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.
