■The University’s USR (University Social Responsibility) projects center on cultivating the sustainability literacy of faculty and students. Emphasizing local engagement, these initiatives deepen the understanding of the interconnectedness between the environment, society, and the economy through cross-disciplinary learning and practice, ultimately driving impactful sustainable actions.

Building upon this foundation, each USR project further implements Social Return on Investment (SROI) analysis to systematically inventory and quantify the social and environmental value created. This ensures that sustainability outcomes are not only perceived but also tangibly presented and verified. Through a sustainable management cycle of "Literacy Cultivation — Practical Action — SROI Evaluation — Feedback & Optimization," our USR projects continuously refine strategies, strengthen the link between teaching and practice, and enhance overall social impact and the substantive benefits of sustainable development.

■The University has established a comprehensive assessment mechanism for sustainability literacy and knowledge, employing diverse methods to monitor learning outcomes across the student body.

At the student level, the University integrates course evaluations (such as SDG-related thematic reports and practical activities), learning portfolios, and survey research to holistically assess students' cognitive understanding, attitudes, and actions regarding sustainability issues.
