École Polytechnique's research now spans 76 countries

Research at École Polytechnique is a global undertaking: the university co-authors with 1,009 institutions in 76 countries, and international collaborators appear on 47% of its output.

Its largest single research relationship is with Sorbonne Université in France, at 3,813 joint works. Across the network, five-year output reaches 13,427 co-authored works.

Connectivity of this kind is increasingly the currency of modern science, and it is measurable: the open scholarly record makes every one of these relationships public and checkable.

The Research Collaboration Index, the first global account of how universities actually collaborate, publishes its first full edition on Tuesday 15 September at 09:00 UK.
