## Abstract

This study presents a methodological framework for visualizing the alignment between complex research systems and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), using CIRAD as a case study. By leveraging advanced data visualization and bibliometric analysis, the research maps CIRAD's publications to the SDGs and explores thematic priorities and institutional collaborations. The findings underscore CIRAD's significant contributions to climate action, food security, biodiversity conservation, and rural development. The integration of complex systems theory and network analysis enhances understanding of SDG interlinkages and provides actionable insights for strategic decision-making in research governance.
