October 15-16, 2025 / Erciyes University, Kayseri, Türkiye
Call for Contributions
The International Global Sustainability and Development Congress invites researchers, academics, practitioners, policymakers, and graduate students to submit their original contributions addressing critical challenges in sustainability and global development. This premier international forum will bring together diverse voices to explore innovative solutions for our planet's most pressing issues.
We welcome submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
The International Global Sustainability and Development Congress welcomes interdisciplinary contributions from all scientific fields that address sustainability challenges and development opportunities. We encourage submissions spanning the natural sciences, including environmental science, biology, chemistry, physics, earth sciences, and climate research, which provide foundational understanding of ecological systems, resource dynamics, and environmental processes. Engineering and technological innovations are equally valued, encompassing renewable energy systems, sustainable materials, biotechnology, information technology, artificial intelligence applications for sustainability, robotics, and emerging technologies that can drive sustainable solutions.
Social sciences contributions are essential to our comprehensive approach, including research from sociology, anthropology, psychology, political science, international relations, public policy, governance studies, and conflict resolution that examine human dimensions of sustainability. Economic research addressing sustainable development models, green finance, circular economy principles, resource economics, development economics, and innovative business models for sustainability provides crucial insights for practical implementation. We also welcome health sciences research exploring environmental health, public health policy, global health challenges, medical innovations for underserved populations, and the interconnections between human health and environmental sustainability.
Educational research focusing on sustainability pedagogy, science communication, capacity building, and knowledge transfer across diverse communities contributes to long-term sustainable development goals. Agricultural and food sciences addressing sustainable farming practices, food security, nutrition, agricultural technology, and rural development are fundamental to global sustainability efforts. Urban planning and architecture research examining smart cities, sustainable infrastructure, transportation systems, and resilient urban design provides essential knowledge for our increasingly urbanized world.
Mathematical and computational sciences contributions, including modeling of complex systems, data analytics for sustainability, statistical approaches to environmental and social challenges, and algorithmic solutions for resource optimization, offer powerful tools for understanding and addressing sustainability challenges. We also encourage interdisciplinary research that bridges multiple fields, collaborative studies that integrate diverse methodological approaches, and innovative frameworks that challenge traditional disciplinary boundaries to address the complex, interconnected nature of global sustainability and development challenges.
