Services

UTM SHINE is an information service of the University of Tunis El Manar (UTM). Everything listed here is published openly on this site: SDG reports, policies, strategies, ranking methodologies and the pages that serve as public evidence for rankings.

What the site offers

Evidence pages for rankings

Several rankings ask universities to support their answers with public evidence. UTM's submissions to the THE Sustainability Impact Ratings link to pages of this site: policies, SDG reports and activity pages. The THE methodology for 2026 sets the conditions that make a page usable as evidence:

• For each evidence question THE gives up to three points: one for the statement, one for the evidence and one if the evidence is public.
• THE evaluates one piece of evidence per indicator, and documents or pages that require clicking through several links are rejected.
• Online evidence has to stay publicly available until at least the start of the next data-collection cycle.

In practice, each topic needs one stable, self-contained, public address. The one-report-per-goal format of the yearly reports also matches a THE indicator: publishing progress against each of the 17 SDGs, individually or in an annual report, is metric 17.3, worth 27.2% of the SDG 17 score. The full rules are summarised in the THE methodology note.

Questions and corrections

If a report, a policy page or a figure needs correcting, or if you have a question about the evidence pages, use the Contact page. General enquiries to the university: utm@utm.tn.
