International collaboration for data gathering for SDGs
Through international collaborations and participation in networks such as EUt+ (European University of Technology– an alliance of nine technological universities across Europe), CUT actively engages in a range of research and innovation initiatives to address global challenges, advance SDG-driven practices, and foster sustainable development.
As part of its involvement in the EUt+ framework, CUT has designed and developed an integrated system to monitor and evaluate the consortium’s research impact on the SDGs. This system features two dedicated dashboards designed to compile all publications and funded projects within the consortium. By systematically categorising these outputs according to the SDGs, the system provides a robust tool for tracking, analysing, and visualising the consortium’s contributions to sustainable development. This initiative enhances data-driven decision-making and showcases the measurable progress of research efforts in addressing global challenges.
