Announcements

MDPI is delighted to announce the establishment of the Michele Parrinello Award. Named in honor of Professor Michele Parrinello, the award celebrates his exceptional contributions and his profound impact on the field of computational physical science research.

The award will be presented biennially to distinguished scientists who have made outstanding achievements and contributions in the field of computational physical science—spanning physics, chemistry, and materials science.

About Professor Michele Parrinello

"Do not be afraid of new things. I see it many times when we discuss a new thing that young people are scared to go against the mainstream a little bit, thinking what is going to happen to me and so on. Be confident that what you do is meaningful, and do not be afraid, do not listen too much to what other people have to say.”

——Professor Michele Parrinello

Born in Messina in 1945, he received his degree from the University of Bologna and is currently affiliated with the Italian Institute of Technology. Professor Parrinello is known for his many technical innovations in the field of atomistic simulations and for a wealth of interdisciplinary applications ranging from materials science to chemistry and biology. Together with Roberto Car, he introduced ab initio molecular dynamics, also known as the Car–Parrinello method, marking the beginning of a new era both in the area of electronic structure calculations and in molecular dynamics simulations. He is also known for the Parrinello–Rahman method, which allows crystalline phase transitions to be studied by molecular dynamics. More recently, he has introduced metadynamics for the study of rare events and the calculation of free energies.

For his work, he has been awarded many prizes and honorary degrees. He is a member of numerous academies and learned societies, including the German Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften, the British Royal Society, and the Italian Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, which is the major academy in his home country of Italy.

Award Committee

The award committee will be chaired by Professor Xin-Gao Gong, a computational condensed matter physicist, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and professor at the Department of Physics, Fudan University. Professor Xin-Gao Gong will lead a panel of several senior experts in the field to oversee the evaluation and selection process. The Institute for Computational Physical Sciences at Fudan University (Shanghai, China), led by Professor Xin-Gao Gong, will serve as the supporting institute for the award.

"We hope the Michele Parrinello Award will recognize scientists who have made significant contributions to the field of computational condensed matter physics and at the same time set a benchmark for the younger generation, providing clear direction for their pursuit—this is precisely the original intention behind establishing the award."

——Professor Xin-Gao Gong

The first edition of the award was officially launched on 1 November 2025. Nominations will be accepted before the end of March 2026. For further details, please visit mparrinelloaward.org.

Welcoming message from the session Chair:

Hello! My name is Reyes Garcia, an Associate Professor in structural engineering at the University of Warwick (UK) and Convenor of our Built Environment and Sustainability Research Cluster. I will have the privilege of chairing “Session 5: Challenges and Opportunities in Construction and Demolition Waste” in the upcoming 1st International Online Conference on Recycling (IOCRe2026), so I look forward to seeing you there!

1. Could you introduce your current research direction and provide an update on your progress?
Sure! The construction and building industry is a huge emitter of CO₂ and therefore there is a pressing need to speed up the net zero transition. Much of my current research focuses on decarbonising the construction industry, mainly through the development of low-carbon materials and the circular use of construction and demolition waste, as well as on the use of waste streams from other large industries (tyres, glass, plastics) into construction. In the last few years, my team and I have been developing Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) solutions with crushed concrete from demolished structures. We use experimental techniques at different scales, advanced numerical analyses and AI/ML to understand and model the short- and long-term performance of RAC composite slabs, beams and columns subjected to severe environments and extreme loads.

2. Have you encountered any challenges in your research, and how did you overcome them?
Absolutely, one of the initial hurdles I found is that the construction industry tends to be very conservative and therefore not very keen to adopt some of our solutions. This is somewhat understandable given the complex regulatory frameworks and climate conditions under which the industry has to operate. I think there is no “silver bullet” to get around these challenges, but I have found that getting a proper understanding of the industry’s needs, maintaining a flexible approach in research that leads to specific/useful outcomes (including demonstration projects), and engaging with good industry contacts before any work starts can help overcome some of the challenges. This is why in recent years some of our RAC solutions have been adopted in actual projects in Asia.

3. What do you think makes IOCRe2026 stand out from other conferences?
There are a few things I can think of, but I will only pinpoint two for the sake of brevity! The first is that the conference covers a wide range of topics. Many of us have the tendency to “tunnel vision” our work and research, so we can easily lose track of what is happening around us. This conference can help participants to clearly see where their work fits within the wider landscape of recycling. The second one is that, being an online conference, participants can attend from anywhere in the world. This also saves lots of travelling time and CO₂ emissions, so Planet Earth will be very thankful.

4. As the Session Chair of IOCRe2026, what would you hope this conference will be for all the scholars out there?
My hope is that the conference serves as an effective catalyst for showcasing our participants’ work to a global audience, in turn opening opportunities to expand their network, finding potential collaborators, and ultimately advancing their professional/academic careers. As a young researcher I always found special sessions particularly stimulating as I had the chance to learn from top academics and professionals in the field. Quite often they would also provide advice to make me think “out of the box”, which was extremely helpful at that stage of my career.

5. What are your thoughts on the current trends and developments in open access publishing?
In my opinion, open access publishing is the future. Many of us lead research projects sponsored by our national research councils/agencies, which are effectively funded by taxpayers’ money. It just seems right that the outputs are freely available to anyone, provided there are no ethical or security concerns of course. Personally, I believe all publishers should be moving to a fully online open access model.

We are pleased to announce that three new scholars have been recently appointed as Editorial Board Members (EBMs) for Recycling (ISSN: 2313-4321). We wish our new members success in both their personal research endeavors and efforts to develop the journal.

Recycling Editorial Office

Environmental science is a broad, multidisciplinary subject that includes research on environments and the life within these environments, as well as the preservation and management of said environments. Increasing concerns about environmental degradation have further heightened the importance and amount of research within this field. It is thus a priority that all scientifically accurate research in environmental science be effectively communicated to the public, not only to raise awareness about impending environmental changes, but also to inspire future generations of researchers to continue the effort to preserve the well-being of our planet.

MDPI journals offer a wide range of open access platforms for environmental science researchers to reach their target audience. From broad, wide-reaching mega-journals like Sustainability to more specific, targeted journals like Waste and Aerobiology, we strive to cater to the publishing needs of scientists working across different environmental disciplines.
