The group is a reference point for not only Belgium but the rest of the world as regards certain complex disorders. They continually produce excellent results in their work as a teaching hospital center with the principal activities of research, innovation, and teaching shared by The Université catholique de Louvain (UCL).
The following data gives a quick reading on the scientific performance in the last years. The research ranking refers to the volume, impact and quality of the institution's research output. The innovation ranking is calculated on the number of patent applications of the institution and the citations that its research output receives from patents. Finally, the societal ranking is based on the number of pages of the institution's website and the number of backlinks and mentions from social networks.
The result of the evaluation of the institution can be compared to obtain a view of the country, the region to which it belongs and the institutions of the world, placing it in their respective positions.
We have divided the scientific output of the institution into 19 large areas of knowledge and the following table shows only the ranks in different territorial domains achieved by the institution in each of the areas. For an institution to have a presence in an area, it is necessary that it exceed in the last year a minimum output threshold equivalent to twice the percentage that this area represents in the world. If you need scientific indicators on these areas visit Scopus and/or SciVal.
| Area | World | Western Europe | EU-27 | OECD | Belgium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology | 1674th | 606th | 502nd | 1240th | 18th |
| Medicine + | 1087th | 393rd | 312th | 804th | 15th |
