摘要

Clusters of integrated Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) enhance the effectiveness of actions for improving performances on SDGs. Practically, the performances of universities on SDGs are assessed with Times Higher Education Impact Rankings (THE). Learning interactions between its elements, including refined SDGs and metrics, has a chance to inform universities to improve their performances on SDGs with more effective actions. Thus, this chapter aims to assess the interactions between refined SDGs and metrics in THE. Semantic network analysis is processed to get quantifiable interactions. Results identify that refined SDGs and metrics in THE exhibit significant and widespread areas of synergies. Thus, proposed interactions between elements of THE offer universities the opportunity to show their students more effective actions for achieving SDGs.
