Principal Patrick Deane is committing Queen's to the Sustainable Development Goals to promote the wellbeing of people and the survival of the planet.

How the rankings work
When submitting to the Impact Rankings, universities must demonstrate the ways in which they are working toward meeting at least four of the SDGs. THE then evaluates each institution카지노 게임 컬렉션s submission based on metrics and indicators associated with each SDG, drawing on the data provided by the institution as well as bibliometric datasets provided by Elsevier, a data and analytics company. In their assessments, THE considers several different aspects of the mission of higher education, including research, teaching, outreach, and stewardship.
While other THE rankings are designed with research-intensive universities in mind, the Impact Rankings are open to any institute teaching at the undergraduate and postgraduate level around the world.
The Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s submission process
To complete its submission, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s has established a Project Team and Working Group comprised of staff and faculty from units across the university, who are responsible for gathering data and evidence and preparing the submission. The process is overseen by a Steering Committee, which meets quarterly and is made up of members of the senior leadership and decanal teams.
Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s will be submitting data on all 17 SDGs. As with all institutions, THE will determine Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s ranking based on the 3 SDGs it scores highest in, as well as on SDG 17: Partnerships for the goals. Work is well underway, and the submission is due on Nov. 30.
