13–15 September 2021 The 9th World Sustainability Forum (WSF 2021)

Online

This year, on 13th–15th September, MDPI has partnered with the University of Basel to bring you the 9th World Sustainability Forum (WSF 2021).

Calling for a “New Normal”

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged many of the world’s outdated economic, social, and environmental systems, prompting widespread calls for a global shift towards a more sustainable “new normal”.

Now, more than a year on since the world entered various forms of lockdown or pandemic management, WSF 2021 is an opportunity to help re-evaluate the relationships between society, politics, and the commercial world. By providing major sessions on topics of Business and Finance, Climate, Health and Medicine, Water and Education, WSF 2021 aims to establish platforms and networks among stakeholders and bring structure to the vision of a more sustainable world after the pandemic.

World Sustainability Awards – We Welcome your Nominations

At WSF 2021, we are excited to host this year’s World Sustainability Award and the Emerging Sustainability Leader Award, funded by the MDPI Sustainability Foundation and the Sustainability journal, respectively, and we welcome your nominations!

The recipients of the World Sustainability Award and Emerging Sustainability Leader Award are chosen from nominees by a Selection Committee consisting of a maximum of five members, including permanent members Dr. Shu-Kun Lin, founder and President of MDPI and founder and chairman of the MDPI Sustainability Foundation, and Prof. Dr. Ed Constable, former Vice President for Research of the University of Basel.

Nominees for the World Sustainability Award may be individual researchers or groups of researchers, whereas the nominees for the Emerging Sustainability Leader Award are individual researchers aged 40 or under at the time of the submission deadline. The awardees must have made, and continue to make, a unique and outstanding academic or societal contribution to sustainability in general or to a sustainability-relevant issue.

Awardees of both the World Sustainability Award and Emerging Sustainability Leader Award will receive a monetary prize of USD 100,000 and USD 20,000, respectively.

Abstract Submissions are Now Open!

Until the 13th July 2021, we are seeking proposals for session streams, sessions, and presentations of papers and posters for WSF 2021. All submissions should aim to foster research, networking, and debates in science and technology, the life sciences, and the social sciences, as well as fruitful exchanges between academia and the public, civic, or private sectors – We are looking forward to your submissions.

4–6 November 2021 4th International Congress on Applied Ichthyology, Oceanography & Aquatic Environment

virtually

The 4th Congress (HydroMediT 2020) would have been hosted in Mytilini, Island of Lesvos, Hellas, in the premises of the University of the Aegean, with a series of National and International stakeholders as Co-Organizers, Supporters and Sponsors. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has led the Congress organizers to postpone the event and res-schedule this virtually this year on 4-6 November 2021.

The main topic of the 4th Congress (HydroMediT 2021) “Aquatic Living Resources, Conservation and Oceanography in an Era of Change”, highlights the changes and the impact on the aquatic ecosystems and their resources. Policy Makers, Industry players, Scientists, and Conservationists shall work together as they are all determined to deal with the challenges for the sustainability of the aquatic environment and its living resources in a changing world.

The organizers of the HydroMediT 2021 have made an arrangement to create a themed ‘proceedings’ Collection at:

MDPI. Special issue “Selected papers from HydroMediT 2021: Applied Ichthyology, Oceanography and Aquatic Environment”.

30 November–2 December 2021 GSNZ Annual Conference 2021: Geoheritage of Aotearoa and the SW Pacific

Palmerston North, New Zealand

Geoheritage research continues to develop as a transdisciplinary science, where classical geological knowledge and physical geography research often occurs in parallel with biogeography, and tourism research. In turn these may be heavily influenced by social sciences such as pedagogy and cultural histories. New advances in geoeheritage research on the global stage demonstrate the dynamic nature of this science arena, with New Zealand and the SW Pacific providing the perfect canvas for researching and engaging with this field. We invite participants to demonstrate the diversity of geoheritage research within the New Zealand and SW Pacific context. In particular, we seek previously unpublished research, and new descriptive works outlining development of methodologies and projects for building geoheritage inventories; exploring the place of geotourism and geoconservation within diverse communities; and integration of advanced technologies within these research fields such as: advanced GIS, data mining techniques, remote sensing, and virtual technologies. We also seek submissions exploring global developments in these fields, that would place our regional geoheritage ventures in a wider global context and developments in internationally recognised best practices.

Session Convenors: Karoly Nemeth (Massey University; Geoconservation Trust Aotearoa), Ilmars Gravis (Geoconservation Trust Aotearoa), Chris Twemlow (Geoconservation Trust Aotearoa; Department of Conservation)
