This study evaluates university cooperation and collaboration using the Weighted Sum Model (WSM). The research aims to provide a comprehensive assessment by considering key criteria, including research output, funding, mobility programs, joint degrees, collaborative projects, societal impact, and more. WSM allows assigning relative weights to each criterion, reflecting their importance. The evaluation identifies strengths and areas for improvement in collaborations, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions. The study's significance lies in optimizing partnerships, fostering research excellence, and promoting knowledge exchange. The research offers a transparent and flexible evaluation framework for enhancing collaboration initiatives among universities worldwide.
