Inside Norwegian University of Science and Technology's largest research partnership: University of Oslo

Behind Norwegian University of Science and Technology's research output sits a defining relationship: 2,495 co-authored works with University of Oslo (Norway) in the five years to 2025, the university's single largest collaboration.

It anchors an unusually connected research base: 1,133 collaborating institutions across 80 countries, producing 52,677 joint works over the window, with international co-authors on 50% of output.

The collaborative work travels: its field-weighted citation impact stands at 3.14, where the world average is 1.0.
