Societal impact

Show the impact of your research

Map outputs and projects to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and report societal impact straight from your research record.

Institutions are increasingly asked to show not just how much research they do, but what it contributes to society. Rankings, funders, and national strategies now look for alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals and evidence of real-world impact.

Because Stellacris already holds your projects, outputs, and the people behind them, that evidence is a classification away, not a separate data-gathering exercise. Tag once, report many times.

Why it matters

Impact, from the record you already keep

SDG mapping

Classify outputs and projects against the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals, so the contribution of your research is visible at a glance.

Impact reporting

Turn tagged records into summaries by goal, faculty, or unit, ready for strategy documents and funder reports.

Ranking submissions

Assemble the evidence that impact-focused rankings ask for from one consistent, auditable source.

Funder alignment

Connect projects and outputs to the goals your funders care about, so alignment is easy to demonstrate.

In practice

From tagging to reporting

A light classification layer over the record you already maintain turns everyday data into impact evidence.

  • Classification of outputs and projects against the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals.
  • Goal tags applied once and reused across every report and public page.
  • Summaries by SDG, faculty, unit, funder, or programme.
  • Exports ready for strategy documents, ranking submissions, and funder reports.
  • SDG context surfaced on public output and project pages.
  • A clear, auditable trail behind every impact figure you present.
Common questions

Questions, answered

Which goals do you support?

All seventeen UN Sustainable Development Goals, applied at the level of individual outputs and projects, so contributions roll up cleanly to faculty, unit, and institution.

Is impact reporting extra work?

The heavy lifting — the record of projects, outputs, and people — is already there. Impact reporting adds a light tagging step, and everything after that is generated from the same record.

Can we show impact publicly?

Yes. SDG context can appear on your public output and project pages, so the societal relevance of your research is visible to partners, funders, and the public.
