Doctoral candidates from EUA members are invited to contribute to one of the 17 volumes of the Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the largest editorial project on matters related to sustainable development ever undertaken.
The editorial team will offer guidance and advice, making this exercise on academic writing a very good experience to postgraduate students, hence complementing their training, and also giving a voice to the next generation of scientists, who may be represented on the Encyclopedia.
The volumes to which inputs are needed, are:
