MDPI Webinar | 1st Guest Editor Club Singapore, 18 September 2025


MDPI is pleased to invite all Guest Editors in Singapore to take part in the very first local MDPI Guest Editor Club. This event has been created as a space for our Guest Editors to come together, share their experiences, and reflect on their achievements in an open and engaging setting.

The Guest Editor Club will gather colleagues from different fields to exchange ideas and highlight the important work being done through MDPI’s Special Issues. It is also a chance to learn more about the editorial process, discuss best practices, and explore new ways of shaping impactful Special Issues.

We hope that this forum will serve not only as an opportunity to connect with our fellow Guest Editors but also as a platform to generate new ideas, foster collaboration, and support the growth of research in Singapore and beyond. With consent from the speakers, presentations will be recorded and later shared on our online database, along with short introductions and discussion threads to keep the conversation going.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 1st MDPI Guest Editor Club 2025.
