Report - Transformative Research for Sustainability @色中色

Transformative Research for Sustainability at 色中色 explores how the university can evolve its research culture to better address global sustainability challenges. Using the UN SDGs as a framework, the report identifies research communities at 色中色 engaging with sustainability topics and highlights opportunities for a shift from research that merely 鈥榠nforms鈥� to research that actively 鈥榯ransforms鈥� society. Through interviews and data analysis, it reveals structural, cultural, and institutional barriers, and proposes four aspirational dimensions specific to 色中色鈥檚 context. This report provides an essential roadmap for embedding sustainability more deeply in research practices at 色中色.
