Based on the provided image, which outlines the categories of research funding, the funds that can be classified as “Research Fund Dedicated to Sustainability Research” are determined by the fund’s objective and scope.
To accurately calculate the total amount dedicated to sustainability, the following funding categories from the table must be included:
1. External Funding Sources
These funds are allocated by external agencies with clear objectives aligned with sustainable development goals:
- 1.1 Mission Fund (ทุนตามพันธกิจ): This portion of funding is related to research that responds to the university’s core mission and government policies, which often includes research dedicated to local development, economy, society, and environmental sustainability.
- 1.2 Research Fund for Area Development and Problem Solving (ทุนงานวิจัยเพื่อการพัฒนาและแก้ไขปัญหาในพื้นที่): This fund is directly aimed at resolving social and environmental issues within the region, which explicitly aligns with the principles and targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
2. Internal Funding Sources
This internal allocation by the university can contribute to sustainability funding, provided the specific research projects meet the sustainability criteria:
- 2.1 Research Fund Type 1 (ทุนวิจัยประเภทที่ 1): This funding focuses on generating knowledge or innovation. The portion of this fund allocated to projects with topics directly related to sustainability—such as clean energy, community health, or circular economy—must be included in the total dedicated fund.
In Summary:
The Total Research Fund Dedicated to Sustainability Research is calculated by summing External Funding explicitly aimed at development and problem-solving, and the portion of Internal Funding where the research projects have direct sustainability themes.
