The first global ranking to measure what a university does, not what it is called.

The story

Why a collaboration ranking, and why now

Quotes for publication

Attributable quotes from the Global Research Partnerships team. For interviews, additional comment or data under embargo, please use the enquiry form below.

“Universities have been ranked on reputation for decades, and reputation rewards whoever was already famous. Collaboration is different. It is something a university actually does, and it shows up in the open record whether the world has heard of you or not. That is the whole reason we built this.”

“Almost every significant research grant now demands a consortium. If a university cannot see where it sits in the global research network, it is guessing at its own funding case. This index turns that guess into evidence, and it does it from data anyone can check.”

Mission

Connecting minds. Advancing research. Transforming the world.

Global Research Partnerships exists to make research collaboration visible, measurable and fundable. We believe the next generation of discovery will be won by the institutions that connect best, not by the ones with the oldest reputations, and that universities everywhere deserve to see where they genuinely stand, on evidence rather than on prestige.
