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

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

It anchors an unusually connected research base: 1,135 collaborating institutions across 81 countries, producing 58,898 joint works over the window, with international co-authors on 55% of output.

The collaborative work travels: its field-weighted citation impact stands at 3.35, where the world average is 1.0.

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.
