Research Inventory 

A copy of the inventory of the institution’s sustainability research (upload):
Inventory of the institution’s sustainability research:
See the attached document for the inventory of professors with research in the field of eco-responsibility including the list of the staff working with them (professors 270 + staff 115 : 385 people). In the same file, we put also the list of all the professors doing research in the Université du Québec à Montréal and also the staff working with them (Professors 1'143 + staff 449 = 1549 people).

A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
To create the list of all UQAM professors with research in the field of eco-responsibility, we used the list of research professors who are members of the Institute of Environmental Sciences (83 people: https : //ise.uqam.ca/professeures-professeurs/). Subsequently, we added to this inventory the names of the research professors found in the directory of UQAM professors (https://professeurs.uqam.ca/) using the keywords of the vocabulary for the united nations sustainable development goals (https://ecoresponsable.uqam.ca/champ) (Total of 1'143 professors and specifically 270 professors who are doing research in the eco-responsability topics.

406 research personnel (technicians, professionals, assistants) were added for the total number of research personnel and 115 research personnel for those working specifically in the field of eco-responsible research. These data come from the Global Compensation Service database which we crossed with the names of the professor responsible of these staff.
