Participants will have the opportunity to engage with leading scholars and reflect on essential questions related to theoretical development in sustainability research, with a particular focus on the needs and perspectives of early-career researchers. The webinar will offer a valuable space for academic exchange, reflection, and learning within an international interdisciplinary setting. You can join the session via the Microsoft Teams link.
