The 6th NEST Conference is taking place in Sofia, Bulgaria, on April 8-9, 2021! Let’s expand transition mind-sets to diverse pathways to sustainability not only in terms of geographical scope but also enabling actors, measures, institutions, approaches and much more. This conference aims to dig deeper into the ways transitions and the research around them emerge and evolve over time and space.
In line with the new location, the conference theme is “Sustainability Transition Pathways” to explore different approaches to the field. The NEST conference welcomes early-career researcher (Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers) of various backgrounds with diverse and innovative ideas. The two-day conference offers a unique platform to discuss work-in-progress and exchange feedback among peers. Engaging workshops provide hands-on experiences with practitioners and senior researchers to link research and practice. The conference also includes keynote lectures by well known transition research scholars to convey latest knowledge from the field.
We invite abstracts that focus on – but are not limited to – the myriad pathways of sustainability transitions. Please send your abstract (max. 400 words) and a short professional biography (100-150 words) by December 15th 2020 to transitions.nest2021@gmail.com .
