To visualise the expertise of VU researchers on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SDG labels have been added to profile pages and publications. VU researchers can add and adjust SDG-labels themselves. Visitors of the VU Research Portal will be able to find researchers based on their contribution to one or more of the SDGs. The labels are visible as tiles in the profile home page, above the fingerprint section. Researchers can adjust or remove the labels themselves, instructions follow below.
Manual: How to add/adjust/remove SDG labels on your personal profile
