Inside Leibniz University Hannover's largest research partnership: Technische Universität Braunschweig

Behind Leibniz University Hannover's research output sits a defining relationship: 969 co-authored works with Technische Universität Braunschweig (Germany) in the five years to 2025, the university's single largest collaboration.

It anchors an unusually connected research base: 966 collaborating institutions across 75 countries, producing 21,646 joint works over the window, with international co-authors on 38% of output.

The collaborative work travels: its field-weighted citation impact stands at 2.54, where the world average is 1.0.
