Testimonials

"OSDG was a useful tool in measuring the extent of SDG-related teaching activities at UCL. We look forward to using the tool to compare the results in future editions of the UCL SDGs annual report"

Simon Knowles,

UCL Head of Coordination (SDGs)

"After reviewing the SDG classification facilities of various tools currently available, we decided not to use either of these solutions, nor to try to construct our own term query based approach, but rather go with OSDG as a labeling tool, as we currently find it to be the most sophisticated and best validated solution"

Paul Donner,

German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW)
