The Danish National Research Database (DNRD) has served as a joint discovery service for local research databases of Danish research institutions and has been the place to go for an overview of Danish research results. DNRD was discontinued in January 2021 and a permanent replacement has not yet emerged, it is however under development.
As a temporary alternative, DNRD refers to NORA, a prototype of a national Open Research Analytics platform.
NORA provides an overview of Danish research results, and can also be used as a research analytics platform. Just to give you an example: in NORA, you will find a summary of Danish research in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals. This information can be narrowed down to a specific university:

NB! It is important to keep in mind that the underlying data in NORA is not pulled from the local research databases of Danish universities but is primarily based on data from Dimensions (a database from Digital Science). This may distort the representation of research results as the ratio of research publications actually indexed in Dimensions varies across universities.
