Research Inventory 

A copy of the inventory of the institution’s sustainability research (upload):
Inventory of the institution’s sustainability research:
We obtained all research publications from 2017-2020 (whole years) in collaboration with the research department. We got a list of research focused/aligned with sustainability and identified the researchers using different filters. These researchers are recognized in Pure; a list of department and research interests (using SDGs) is also available.

A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
The methodology to obtain the list of researchers that work on sustainability can be divided into two strategies:
Strategy one.
Download all research (papers, books, articles) from whole years, 2017-2020.
Filter manually identifying those research projects that align with sustainability.
Identify the primary researcher and obtain his/her/their information from the institutional database. This information got us special interests and trends for each researcher.
Strategy two.
Reach out to the directors of the different academic departments and ask for a classification.
Results obtained from this search were then filtered using the institutional research database.
