A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
A keyword search was used to define and determine data to downloaded from COGNIT.CA.
"Cognit.ca is a tool for businesses, non-profits, governments and others who want to access the experts, facilities and/or intellectual property that exists on campuses across Canada. Cognit.ca does this by analyzing over 200,000 research projects, hundreds of facilities and more than ten of thousand of pieces of IP to identify the most relevant institutions, researchers, facilities and licensing opportunities for a given search term."
The keyword search was done using terms and phrases that would specifically highlight research that either directly or indirectly related to Sustainability. These were then reviewed for inclusion into the inventory, and added as appropriate.
