Platinum Partnership and Gold Partnership are names of editorial and reach packages. They are separate from the Research Collaboration Index and its Platinum, Gold and Silver standing bands, and no package has any effect on any university's RCI standing, band, rank, score or award.

Partner case study

A Russell Group partner: academic reputation, read against its peers.

A Russell Group partner has worked with GRP since 2024. Read against its peer group rather than in isolation, its Academic Reputation has strengthened faster than the Russell Group average.

+13.8Academic Reputation points: 75.1 (2023 cycle) to 88.9 (2027 cycle)
+11.5points in the partnership window (since 2024), against +10.4 Russell Group average and +5.4 UK average
+9.5lead over the Russell Group average in 2027, widened from +7.1 in 2023
12 of 16improving subjects gained faster than the Russell Group average, 2024 to 2026

Credibility, now

The RCI launch, in universities' own words.

The Research Collaboration Index launched on 15 September 2026: the first global ranking of how universities collaborate, covering 1,195 universities in 81 countries, with 26 subject rankings, built from the open scholarly record for 2021 to 2025.

“I am incredibly proud that Queen Mary has been ranked 25th in the world for our research collaborations.”

Professor Colin Bailey CBE, President, Queen Mary University of London. Queen Mary news, 18 September 2026

“This recognition belongs to our researchers and partners around the world”

Professor Tom Rodden, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and Knowledge Exchange, University of Nottingham. University of Nottingham Research, LinkedIn

“I'm happy to see that our efforts to stimulate collaborations are recognized in this index.”

Professor Bas de Bruin, Scientific Director, Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences, University of Amsterdam. University of Amsterdam, Faculty of Science news

“collaboration is what is awarded here.”

Professor Philip Moons, KU Leuven, RCI 2026 Subject Award winner, Health Professions. Winner's own post
