To increase cross-disciplinary research, researchers at Kingston University in London developed a methodology to identify key sustainable development researchers. Our goal was to test and enhance this methodology by applying it to University of Worcester. We expanded the design with an alternative staff search technique with a wider scope, tested profile analysis, and interviewed staff for research interest links. Our enhanced methodology fosters the initial purposes of Kingston’s methodology by creating a platform to support a network of sustainability researchers.
