Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) decision-makers often need to have a clear vision of what is researched and by whom to design effective policies.

A major challenge to be faced in this context is the difficulty in accessing the relevant data and in combining information coming from different sources: indeed, traditionally, STI data has been confined within closed data sources and, when available, it is categorised with different taxonomies. Here, we present a proof-of-concept study of the use of Open Resources to map the research landscape on the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13-Climate Action, for an entire country, Denmark, and we map it on the 25 ERC panels.
