A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:

From this analysis an inventory of research projects that have an explicit focus on sustainability and/or on understanding or solving one or more major sustainability challenges.
Methodology:
1. Develop a living document in which researchers could integrate findings of sustainability relation or focus.
2. Data collection, input and review of identified sustainable research projects.
