Integration across the SDGs and the role of research: A symposium for early career researchers and practitioners

On 17–18 October 2018, Future Earth Australia and the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) Australia, New Zealand and Pacific hosted a symposium for early career researchers and practitioners (ECRPs) looking at how research can help address integration between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

A core area of activity for Future Earth Australia is capacity building for the next generation of Australian scientists and researchers. In joining with SDSN Australia, New Zealand and Pacific, which mobilises universities and knowledge institutions to work on the SDGs, the aim was to both link together ECRPs working in areas related to the SDG integration and to help them advance their work in this area.

Participants were selected via a competitive application process, based on submission of an abstract and expression of interest to attend the symposium. Preference was afforded to attendees whose work clearly demonstrated integration of the SDGs towards societal transformation. Future Earth Australia members were eligible for scholarships to offset the costs of participating.

The highly interactive symposium provided participants substantial opportunity to connect, network and share their work with other ECRPs and experts working in this area.
