Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Editor-in-Chief, the Editorial Board, and the Guest Editors, Plants is very pleased to announce this call for papers for a Special Issue consisting of papers selected from the 2024 International Scientific Conference on Plant Biodiversity and Sustainability, which will be held online from 21 to 22 May 2024 (https://sites.google.com/view/2024-iscpbs/home).
PhD candidates and young researchers are key actors when it comes to targeting the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of Agenda 2030. This conference will be a scientific event dedicated to their work and efforts, and represents a meeting place facilitating the of sharing expertise and presenting the results of studies in ways that seek to enhance their formative internationalization. Interactions and connections are the most useful tools for the improvement of professional skills as part of an international research network and the conference aims to foster interchange with speakers of high scientific relevance and to activate a far-reaching international research network. The contributors are also invited to highlight connections between their research work and selected targets among the 17 SDGs of Agenda 2030 as a strategy to improve awareness of impacts on global sustainable development. In this regard, the online approach results in the optimal solution ensuring the intrinsic sustainability of a conference that is freely accessible to both contributors and audiences.
This proposed Special Issue welcomes a selection of the best papers from the conference that can be put forward for submission and every attendee is entitled to a 20% discount on APC upon acceptance of their papers.
