Support to embed SR into your teaching

How to improve your research against UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

1. Keep PURE up-to-date and tag your research as SR

2. Ensure weighted/phrases/keywords are used in your paper as they will be picked up by SDG algorithms: Improving the Scopus and Aurora queries to identify research that supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2021 - Elsevier BV (digitalcommonsdata.com)

3. Consider co-authoring research with low or middle income countries. You can access a list of these countries on the Wellcome website.

4. Consider ways in which you can reach more than one type of audience by publishing your research in different ways e.g. for academic and practitioner audiences.

The AMBS Social Responsibility committee has created this list of sources to support colleagues with integrating social responsibility in course units. This list focuses in particular on case studies and simulations, which can be helpful in offering online and blended forms of teaching. 

• Responsible Graduates at AMBS (PPT) – information on SR and teaching at AMBS
• Completing your course manual - Best practice SR examples (PDF): Several good examples of course manuals that refer to social responsibility, in terms of the responsible management competences that they aim to develop in students, and in terms of the UN Sustainable Development Goals that the unit contributes to.
• Course outline template support can be found here.
