Explainable Mapping of CORDIS Research Projects to Exact UN SDG Targets
This project explores an explainable approach for mapping European CORDIS research projects to exact UN Sustainable Development Goal targets. It combines semantic retrieval, structured verification, evidence-backed mappings and an interactive web application. The final submission includes reproducible data outputs, validation materials and a public prototype for exploring the results.
CORDIS-SDG Target Mapping Solution
Solution overview
This submission presents an explainable pipeline for mapping CORDIS research projects to exact UN Sustainable Development Goal targets. The system combines semantic retrieval with structured AI-based verification and produces evidence-backed mappings with confidence categories and DIRECT/INDIRECT contribution labels.
The final controlled demonstration includes 150 CORDIS projects, 1,500 candidate project-target pairs, and 231 supported mappings across 100 projects. Projects are allowed to remain unmapped where the available evidence does not justify an assignment.
The submission includes:
- reproducible notebook
- final mapping tables in CSV and Excel
- validation and quality-control documentation
- methodology and limitation notes
- project development and personal reflection
- interactive public web prototype
