What is DHI known for in research?

The fields where it stands highest, over all time, ranked among every institution above the floor in each field.

Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where DHI sits in it, in the colour of the band that rank falls in. The track under the rate is the rate itself: it carries no average mark, because the average differs by field (from about 6% in Dentistry to 21% in Economics).

Which fields of science does DHI work in?

In 2022-now, 83% of research at DHI is in Physical Sciences, 10% in Life Sciences. Its largest fields are Environmental Science (39%), Earth and Planetary Sciences (23%), Engineering (16%). It does 2.0× the world's share of Physical Sciences.
