Each year a small number of Emerging Scholar Awards are given to outstanding early-career scholars or graduate students. The Award offers complimentary registration and Network Membership. It provides a robust professional development opportunity for early career academics to meet experts in the field, interact with colleagues from other parts of the world, and create networks and lasting connections. In our model, we have two kinds of Emerging Scholars -- In-Person and Online Only. Across all formats, Emerging Scholars play a critical role in the conference by leading discussions and chairing parallel sessions and are offered a publication pathway for their research. This way, we can provide maximum exposure for this selected group of researchers.

As an Emerging Scholar, I truly valued the interdisciplinary nature of the conference, where scholars from diverse fields came together to explore sustainability from multiple perspectives. This enriched the debate, fostering insightful discussions and highlighting the complexity and interconnectedness of sustainable practices across disciplines."
The Emerging Scholar program is an incredible way to connect with others entering the sustainability field from all over the world, while inspiring you to take your research goals to new heights! This program has broadened my professional network and academic horizons by fostering friendships with global scholars from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe, many of whom I now consider my close friends.”
The conference has given me an excellent opportunity to present my work. Looking forward to attending more conferences through this platform."
