“…As for the activity of scientific research, universities are devoted to promoting sustainable development by several practices, including establishing sustainable development research institutes, providing funds for sustainable development research, and applying sustainable development research content in teaching [36]. This not only includes research projects, such as the Green Technology Project implemented by Malaysia [37], and the Research Framework Programme for Sustainable Development implemented by the German government [38], but also includes research practice such as the implementation of solar energy schools [39] and the utilization of open and remote learning [40]. In addition, universities try to control research orientation to support sustainable development.…”

Our research aims to establish an evaluation framework and evaluate the sustainability of scientific research in universities. Based on the concept of Education for Sustainable Development and the function of scientific research activities, an evaluation framework was constructed including three dimensions: the sustainable trend of scientific research activity, research performance related to the topic of sustainable development, and sustainability of scientific research contributions. Descriptive analysis, Data Envelopment Analysis, and a Statistical Index Method were used to calculate the sustainability of scientific research of world-class universities in China. Results show that China’s world-class universities published more articles related to sustainable development than the best-performing universities in the UK and USA. They make sustainable contributions to society through cultivating Ph.D. graduates, publishing research papers, and transforming science and technology. However, the sustainable trend of the scientific research of universities is still to be improved. The result of resource efficiency is relatively low, and attention should be paid to the waste of human and financial resources. In addition, universities should improve their ability to withstand external risks to minimize the influence of external public emergencies such as COVID-19.

“…The research work is usually published as case studies. It includes wide-ranging domains in sustainability, such as the implementation of solar-powered schools (REGSA 2016), the formation and evolution of university degrees (Mifsud 2014) and the utilization of open and distance learning (Nicolau et al 2018).…”
