University of Waterloo's research now spans 78 countries

Research at University of Waterloo is a global undertaking: the university co-authors with 1,115 institutions in 78 countries, and international collaborators appear on 46% of its output.

Its largest single research relationship is with University of Toronto in Canada, at 1,911 joint works. Across the network, five-year output reaches 36,764 co-authored works.
