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.

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.
