@JoannaChataway @UCLSTEaPP Indeed! Thanks for adding and sharing! #STRINGS was a truly fantastic collaboration.

The study emphasises the need for research priorities to be redirected towards national SDG challenges. Suggestions include increasing research funding in LICs and LMICs to stimulate research related to the SDGs. #SustainableDevelopment 💡 6/6

However, a negative or inconclusive relationship was found for all other SDGs. For example, high-income countries with unsustainable consumption/production patterns are not specialising in research related to SDG12. 5/6

📢New paper out! Our study (with T. Ciarli E. Noyons) highlights a misalignment between global research priorities and pressing societal challenges, focusing on the #SDGs #STRINGS 1/6 🌐 Read more (open access): sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
