Inside Khalifa University of Science and Technology's largest research partnership: United Arab Emirates University
Behind Khalifa University of Science and Technology's research output sits a defining relationship: 474 co-authored works with United Arab Emirates University (UAE) in the five years to 2025, the university's single largest collaboration.
It anchors an unusually connected research base: 1,037 collaborating institutions across 77 countries, producing 23,573 joint works over the window, with international co-authors on 61% of output.
The collaborative work travels: its field-weighted citation impact stands at 3.52, where the world average is 1.0.
The Research Collaboration Index, the first global account of how universities actually collaborate, published its first full edition on 15 September 2026. The full results are public.
Every figure derives from the open global research record and is checkable at source.
