Overview
The UCL SDG Research Accelerator is a research-led and transdisciplinary initiative that aims to produce scientific evidence through processes of participatory engagement between researchers and societal stakeholders in order to advance the understanding and implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) towards sustainable urban transformations. It is primarily focusing on understanding how climate (SDG13), health (SDG3) and urban (SDG11) goals can be aligned in cities, in partnership with communities, policymakers and industry (SDG17), and in synergy with other SDGs.

The Accelerator is centred around three types of activities and outputs:
- Primary RESEARCH which is transdisciplinary and challenge driven, and taking a science-to-policy-and-back approach.
- Policy IMPACT by providing scientific evidence within local, national and international policy applications/ implementation and policy-making processes.
- Public DIALOGUES that support knowledge transfer and exchanges outside the academia.
