To find researchers with publications related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SDG labels are added to profile pages and publications on the VU Research Portal.
VU Amsterdam aims to be a university where sustainability is an integral part of all its activities. The VU 2020-2025 strategy recognises the influence and responsibility that academic institutions have in tackling climate change, and introduces sustainability as one of VU Amsterdam's priority areas.
In the field of research, VU Amsterdam wants to make its contribution to the transition towards a sustainable society visible and has chosen the UN Sustainable Development Goals as the framework for it. By listing and profiling the VU on these themes, researchers and research managers can make their social impact measurable in the research domain. The SDGs labels are applied to personal profiles, publications and organisational units.
