At MDPI, we recognize that peer review is the foundation of scientific progress. The integrity, transparency, and quality of our journals depend on the careful evaluations provided by our reviewers. In 2024 alone, more than 215,000 reviewers contributed over 1.2 million reports to MDPI journals. This achievement reflects the strength of our community, and it is through the expertise and dedication of reviewers like you that scholarly communication continues to advance worldwide.
The MDPI Reviewer Club series was created to acknowledge this important role and to provide a vibrant forum for sharing experiences, exchanging best practices, and building meaningful connections across disciplines.
We are delighted to invite you to our upcoming webinar: “MDPI Reviewer Club Webinar 2026 | Engineering Session 2”.
This session is designed as a dedicated space for reviewers in the Engineering discipline to connect, exchange insights, and celebrate the vital role they play in advancing scholarly publishing.
With the consent of our speakers, presentations will be recorded and shared on MDPI platforms, accompanied by introductions and discussion threads to continue the exchange long after the event.
If you are not yet part of our reviewer community, we warmly invite you to apply to join us as a reviewer. For further details about reviewing with MDPI, please also visit our page here, where you will find information on reviewer responsibilities, ethics, and the peer review process.
We warmly welcome you to join us for this inspiring exchange at the MDPI Reviewer Club 2026 | Engineering Session 2.
