Universidad de Navarra is ranked #597 of 1,038, with Silver standing. Its strongest pillar is co-creation (64): 339 verified industry works against about 295 expected for its mix of fields. It is held back most by breadth (21): partners concentrated in a few research fields; and by scale (42): a network of 72 company groups on two or more joint works.

Why this position

Four pillars, as percentiles

Co-creation30% of the score
64

How often it co-authors with companies, compared with what its own mix of research fields would predict; size makes no difference. 339 verified works against about 295 expected for its fields (1.15 times the expected rate).

Durability20% of the score
46

How much of its industry work sits in sustained partnerships with the same company group. 18 sustained partnerships: five or more joint works in three or more of the five years.

Scale30% of the score
42

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. 72 company groups on two or more joint works; 18 sustained partnerships.

Breadth20% of the score
21

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 (45.4) is the weighted average of the four percentiles. Rank 597 of 1,038 overall; 12 of 32 in Spain; 247 of 388 in Europe. 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.

166counted in the overall index

173 of its 339 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

Universidad de Navarra co-authored verified work with 191 company groups, consortium papers aside: 72 of them on two or more works, and 18 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.

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

702021
72.52022

71.52024
662025

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)

1 industry-partnered clinical trial

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.

The trial:

  • NCT05184205 Photodynamic Therapy for COVID-19 Prevention with Ondine Biomedical Inc., 2021

Funded partnerships (reported, not scored)

Publicly funded research projects with companies

European Union: 24 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 (110 distinct companies). Most frequent: Atos Spain SA, Atos It Solutions and Services Iberia SL, Charles River Discovery Research Services Germany GmbH, Syreon Kutato Intezet Korlatolt Felelossegu Tarsasag, T-curx GmbH, Ospedale San Raffaele Srl.

  • PARC Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals 2022, 1 company
  • SPACETIME SPatial Analysis of Cancer Evolution in the Tumour Immune MicroEnvironment 2024, 1 company
  • Exploit4InnoMat An Open Innovation Ecosystem for exploitation of materials for building envelopes towards zero energy buildings 2023, 11 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, 7 also appear in this university's verified co-authorship record (T-CURX, AstraZeneca, Astellas Pharma, Miltenyi Biotec, Boston Scientific, Cochlear) and 19 are funded partners not yet visible in it. About 24% 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

542 verified company links

Each counted link (one work, this university and one company) was confirmed against the affiliation text its author wrote; 291 of 833 candidate links were set aside.

Why links were set aside
  • 149 company name not written in the author's affiliation
  • 46 part of a university or public institute's own unit
  • 31 ordinary-word name without a company suffix
  • 13 a place or common word that failed its stricter rule
  • 8 not an industry organisation
  • 5 excluded after hand audit: Sciensano is the Belgian federal public health institute (government)
  • 39 for other reasons: smaller hand-audit findings, and links the current open record no longer supports

GRP Partnership Intelligence Platform

Where Universidad de Navarra'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.
