Abstract
A growing concern for sustainability and the application of the 2030 Agenda and the 17 SDGs are at the core of recent European policies. This study aimsto support the Directorate General on Research and Innovation (DG R&I) in the development of the 3Ps (Planet, Prosperity and People) dashboards by identifying, rationalising and analysing indicators, which will be used to measure the contribution of research and innovation (R&I) in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and into the wider SDGs areas of implementation, i.e., at a higher level of aggregation. Within the context of the creation of the 3Ps dashboards, this exploratory study contributes to consolidating conceptual knowledge by developing a conceptual framework linking R&I with SDGs, identifying relevant indicators and exploring how they can be used to generate empirical evidence on the interlinkages. In the context of sustainable transitions, the study evidencesthe benefits of counting with such dashboard, allowing different stakeholders, mainly policymakers, to understanding the evolution of certain indicators, analysing the potential pathways to impact in the achievement of one or more SDGs, and identifying appropriate intervention measures and policies.
