Call for Participation: The 4th Workshop of Asian Young Geographers

1.

Introduction

As global climate change and environmental challenge become increasingly severe, Asia, the most populous and geographically diverse continent in the world, is facing unprecedented challenges in its geographical characteristics and evolutionary trends. The natural geographical landscape, ecological environment, and socio-economic development of Asia are all deeply influenced by global change. These changes not only concern the well-being of the people in Asian countries but also have profound impacts on global sustainable development.

Co-organized by Young Geographer Working Group of Asian Geographical Association (AGA-YGWG) and Yuxi Normal University, the 4th Workshop of Asian Young Geographers will be held during November 29th-December 2nd 2024 in Yuxi City, Yunnan Province, China. The upcoming workshop themed "Geography of Asia under Global Change" will delve into the impacts of global change on Asia's physical geography, human geography, geographical science and environment science. The workshop will gather young scholars from various fields of geography to share research outcomes and experiences, providing scientific references and policy support for Asia and the world to explore coping strategies and sustainable development paths aiming at addressing global change challenges.

The workshop program will be formally announced in few weeks. Young researchers, scholars and graduate students in global geography and related disciplines are welcome to participate and present their cutting-edge research outcomes.

[ISC] FW: Groundbreaking Sustainability Research; Reform of Researchers’ Evaluation and More

 Subject: Groundbreaking Sustainability Research; Reform of Researchers’ Evaluation and More

 

 

 

Mobilizing interdisciplinary science for a more sustainable and resilient world

 

The Frontiers Planet Prize, endorsed by the International Science Council, announced its 2024 international champions. The three winning scientists were each awarded $1.1 million (USD) to support their research aimed at saving the planet.

 

 

 

 

The Frontiers Planet Prize recognizes and rewards scientists whose groundbreaking research accelerates solutions to help humanity remain safely within the nine planetary boundaries.

In its second edition, the Prize honored the contributions of three scientists:

  • Dr. Pedro Jaureguiberry from the Multidisciplinary Institute of Plant Biology in Argentina, whose research addresses the drivers of global anthropogenic biodiversity loss;
  • Prof. Dr. Peter Haase from the Senckenberg Society for Nature Research in Germany, who highlights the vital importance of preserving freshwater ecosystems with legislative action;
  • Prof. Jason Rohr from the University of Notre Dame in the USA, who demonstrates how community-driven agricultural practices can reduce the prevalence of schistosomiasis, a disease affecting hundreds of millions globally.

Review their award-winning research articles here.

 

 

New report: 
'
Snapshots of reform: Researcher evaluation within science organizations'

 

The global conversation around research evaluation is gaining momentum, underscoring the urgent need to move beyond traditional metrics that prioritize quantity over quality and to embrace comprehensive, value-driven approaches.


This new report, “Snapshots of Reform: Researcher Evaluation within Science Organizations, produced by the Global Young Academy (GYA), the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP), and the International Science Council (ISC), identifies actionable steps that science organizations can take to reform researcher evaluation.
