A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory (including the types of faculty and staff included as researchers):

Professors and researchers engaged in sustainability research were first identified on the basis of their affiliation with research groups that have a clear focus on sustainability issues, such as the CIRODD (Interdisciplinary Research Center on the Operationalization of Sustainable Development, http://www.cirodd.org) or the EDDEC Institute (Environment, Sustainable Development and Circular Economy, http://instituteddec.org).

The list of Polytechnique's research units and centers was also analyzed to identify those engaged in sustainability research, which also allowed to identify additional professors and researchers. Finally, the expertise webpage of each professor and researcher (available at http://www.polymtl.ca/recherche/rc/en/index.php) was reviewed to identify sustainability-focused research areas and projects and thus validate the whole list.

As professors and researchers engaged in sustainability research were listed, research associates working with them were identified. When these research associates' main field of work was sustainability-related, there were added to the list as staff engaged in sustainability research. Graduate students were excluded from this calculation.
