The Sustainable Development Goals Research Network (SDGs@RMIT) brings together academics to better support SDG research across RMIT.
RMIT’s recent success in the TIMES HE Impact Ranking reflects the work many researchers have been doing on the SDGs over many years. The SDG Research Network was created in 2021 to broaden awareness of the SDGs and better support SDG research across the University.
The network organises events to facilitate discussion and learning and to support SDG-related activities in research, engagement and learning and teaching. Ultimately, it is hoped the SDG Research Network will help grow and deepen SDG-engaged research at the University to enhance our collective research impact.
The following themes reflect areas of expertise across the network. Members may work in several of these areas. The themes complement existing work at RMIT such as Circular Economies, Urban Research, Science Research, International Development.
