In this list, we present the U-Multirank 2018 top performers on the indicator ‘interdisciplinary publications’. The more a publication refers to publications belonging to different fields of science and the larger the distance between these fields, the higher is the degree of interdisciplinary research at a university. Given that the frontiers of research are often at the edge of disciplines, the interdisciplinarity of research also reflects its innovative character.

In this list we present the U-Multirank 2018 top performers on the indicator ‘patents awarded (size-normalised)’. The number of patents is an established measure of technology transfer as it indicates the degree to which discoveries and inventions made in academic institutions are transferred to economic actors for further industrial/commercial development. Correcting for the size of the institution (overall student enrollments) enables a size-independent comparison of higher education institutions.
