Foundation: 1994
Mission: Our main mission as the National Oceanography Centre is to make sense of changing seas, upon which future human prosperity and wellbeing depends. The way in which we intend to achieve our mission is by: Undertaking internationally competitive marine science research in an Earth system context with a long-term focus – working with others for the effective translation of new and existing knowledge into demonstrably high societal benefit. Manage, develop, coordinate and innovate high quality large research infrastructure, equipment pools, facilities, databases and other science, enabling functions for the benefit of the whole UK science community to deliver excellent science with impact.
Vision: To be one of the world’s top three oceanographic research institutions. To understand and tackle the big scientific questions about the marine environment and its interactions with Earth systems through use of scientific research, oceanographic observations, data modelling and development of new technologies; in order to predict how future changes to our oceans will impact human life.

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 | OECD | United Kingdom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agricultural and Biological Sciences + | 1359th | 437th | 891st | 70th |
| Earth and Planetary Sciences + | 260th | 72nd | 146th | 19th |
| Energy | 777th | 206th | 431st | 44th |
| Engineering + | 552nd | 155th | 343rd | 35th |
| Environmental Science | 564th | 176th | 306th | 37th |
These are the journals used by the institution's researchers to publish their work in the last year. The size of each circle represents the value of the SJR of the publication, and its spatial position represents its subject matter.
This visualizatión allows you to identify the knowledge areas where the institution has published, recognize the prestige of the scientific journals in which the institution knowledge has been published, and identify predominant scientific communities.
