Visualizing Societal Impact: Research and Education Dashboards of the Sustainable Development Goals
Session 3. Visualizing Societal Impact: Research and Education Dashboards of the Sustainable Development Goals
Wednesday, June 8th, 15:00 – 16:00 Central European Time (UTC+2)
How can you make the impact of the university on the SDGs visible? In collaboration with the Aurora Alliance, VU has developed an SDG research dashboard that demonstrates the societal relevance and societal impact of research. This dashboard shows the research contributions to these societal challenges, and how policymakers have used the research available to tackle these challenges.
Additionally, VU has also developed an SDG inventory of VU courses. There, students can see what SDG courses the university has to offer. During the session, we will present how the development of the dashboard was approached and what the next steps are.
