Future and Sustainability: Research for a Better World
The Digital Sustainability Innovation Chair of the University of Granada is organizing the FYS event as a meeting and exchange point among a selection of the best researchers who are developing their doctoral theses, or have recently defended them, on topics related to sustainability. We aim to make it an interdisciplinary event, inviting people from different doctoral programs to participate and address the multiple technological, social, scientific, and economic perspectives that sustainability encompasses.
The participants will enjoy a unique opportunity to give visibility and recognition to their work and to meet other people who could be the basis for the development of future projects and collaborations. In addition, the event aims to offer keys to assess the applicability of their research in the search for sustainability and the professional potential that their research can contribute. The Talent Incubator will provide a certificate of presentation and participation in the event, and various honorary awards are expected to be granted to participants.
The “Digital Sustainability Innovation Chair” is an initiative created jointly by the University of Granada and T-Systems to promote the capabilities of university students so that they can be a fundamental engine of change in the sustainability of the planet. All activities of the Chair are completely free for its participants.
OBJECTIVE OF THE CONFERENCE
The objective of the FYS event is to provide a forum for researchers in training to join their knowledge and talent in the search for synergies that reinforce their research and their own professional opportunities. It aims to help its participants to make visible the research they develop, to assess its interest, and to find possible collaborators to reinforce their research and initiate future projects of interest.
Participant Selection
Individuals with the most promising research related to any dimension of sustainability and a better future for the planet will receive an invitation to participate. If you believe that your work could be of interest for the event and have not received an invitation, please contact us (nortiz@ugr.es) and we will consider your proposal.
