Here, the academic outputs refer to the tangible results, including publications (journal articles, books), conference presentations, research data, patents, and educational resources. Academic engagement involved activities that connect research with broader communities, such as public outreach, industry collaborations, influencing policy, teaching, and mentoring. Both to ensure that academic work has real-world impact and to foster interdisciplinary and societal connections.
