U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

In Portugal, food production in MPB is still a sector with little expression in the national agricultural economy. However, the growing demand for organic food and the direction in which the next reform of the CAP seems to go, strengthening the support in the Pillar that integrates organic farming today, allows us to envision a very promising future for this agricultural subsector.
