The Sustainability Research & Innovation Congress 2021 (SRI2021) has created a dedicated Early Career Fund which will support young professionals to participate in the event virtually or in-person, if the country of residence is Australia. Interested candidates can submit their applications online.

SRI2021 will offer an excellent opportunity for early career professionals to connect and engage with the dynamic and rapidly growing global sustainability community. The views of the early career professionals are critical to the success of the Congress, which seeks to emphasize innovation and youth.

To this end, SRI2021 is excited to announce the Early Career Fund. The Fund is a dedicated financial support mechanism, covering the event registration fees for a limited number of early career professionals. This will increase the number of early career participants at SRI2021, and elevate their voices in global sustainability discussions. The Fund was created by Future Earth and the Global Young Academy.

To be considered, candidates should be enrolled in tertiary education or be in the first ten years of their career after obtaining their latest university degree (Bachelor, Master, PhD) or professional certificate.
