Mapping UCC research onto the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Description

I created and delivered 32 SDGs workshops for the UCC research community as part of UCC's strategic priority to map university research onto the SDGs.

The main aims of the workshops were:
- To raise general awareness of the SDGs and the benefits of the SDGs as a framework for demonstrating real-world research impact.
- To inform researchers about the benefits of aligning their research with the SDGs e.g. grant competitiveness, as a common language to collaborate.
- To involve researchers directly in mapping their research onto the SDGs using a specially-developed Microsoft Forms based tool.
- To provide a forum for open discussion about the SDGs in research.

477 UCC researchers attended the workshops during summer 2022 and a total of 497 researchers mapped their own research onto the SDGs.
