The NEST conference 2023 will be hosted by IOER and is being organized in collaboration with the PhD candidates of the IOER and DLGS, with the umbrella theme of “Re-imagining transitions: beyond established methods and concepts.

The conference strives to widen horizons and perspectives by creating a space in which new concepts from different disciplines and schools of thought can play a role, while questioning the established ways of knowing and doing. The conference focuses on the exchange between early career researchers working on topics related to sustainability transition. It serves as a platform to share knowledge, network, and discuss. It strives to encourage scientific collaboration among early career researchers at an international level.

Registration for the NEST conference is expected to open in April 2023.

The "Network of early career researchers in sustainability transitions" (NEST) is an international network and community established to cater specifically to the needs of early career researchers and doctoral candidates in the field of sustainability transitions. NEST complements the work of the international forum "Sustainability Transitions Research Network" (STRN).
