Mainstreaming the SDGs in Business School Research and Education

A one year project to map, stimulate, and showcase SDG related research and teaching activity in J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics, University of Galway.

The project will create a Showcase of SDG-related activity within SBE derived from in-depth research taking in every member of academic staff in the School. Starting with a keyword-search, the mapping exercise aims to provide granularity at SDG Target level for lecture material and assessment practices: we will speak to all academics personally to discern what in their practices maps to the relevant targets of the relevant SDGs. Helping them understand better, this becomes an Action Research project – embedding knowledge of the SDGs across the School and encouraging an SDG focus. Alongside detailed Target level mapping for publications, funded research, and the future research agendas for all academic staff in the School, this mapping will enable us to identify the strengths and gaps, and act strategically to support the former and fill the latter, develop new programmes, new modules, and a host of new networks between like-minded staff, new research agendas and synergies.
