Outstanding Oral Presentation Award

——————————————————————————————————————————

To recognize the outstanding research achievements of young scholars and enhance academic exchanges, the journal of Smart Molecules will sponsor "Outstanding Oral Presentation Awards" along with certificates and prizes in the 21st ICCDU. We welcome everyone to engage with the editorial team of Smart Molecules during the conference, and we also invite you to support and follow the development Smart Molecules, helping it become a leading international platform for academic exchange.

Smart Molecules is a new launched academic Journal co-founded by Wiley and Dalian University of Technology. Smart Molecules is an interdisciplinary high-level academic journal positioned in the field of interdisciplinary research, aiming to report molecular systems that exhibit intelligent responses to environmental stimuli. It focuses on reporting significant progress in related fields such as chemistry, physics, materials, engineering, biology, medicine, life and health sciences, and will become an important platform for the combination of "intelligent engineering" and "molecular structure" in the interdisciplinary field, providing scientific solutions to global challenges.

The scope of Smart Molecules is intentionally broad to encompass the multidisciplinary research of chemistry, physics, materials, engineering, biology, medical, life and health science. The editorial team consists of outstanding experts from multiple countries and different fields around the world, who will strictly control the quality of published papers and jointly create a high-level international journal. There will be no publication fees for articles accepted from 2023 to 2025.

We warmly welcome active submissions!

Sustainability is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal on environmental, cultural, economic, and social sustainability of human beings, published semimonthly online by MDPI. The Canadian Urban Transit Research & Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC), International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB) and Urban Land Institute (ULI) are affiliated with Sustainability and their members receive discounts on the article processing charges.

Aims

Sustainability (ISSN 2071-1050) is an international and cross-disciplinary, scholarly, open access journal of technical, environmental, cultural, economic and social sustainability of human beings, which provides an advanced forum for studies related to sustainability and sustainable development. As a peer-reviewed and semimonthly journal, Sustainability publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, and short notes, with no restriction on the maximum length of the papers.

Our aim is to encourage researchers to publish their experimental, computational, and theoretical research relating to natural and applied sciences, engineering, economics, social sciences, and humanities in detail to promote scientific and other understanding and to permit predictions and impact assessments of global change and development related to sustainability. Knowing the importance of sustainability and achieving sustainable development for humanity, Sustainability strives to support the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by United Nations. As a transdisciplinary journal, Sustainability encourages researchers to provide full experimental and methodological details so that results can be reproduced and assessed. The journal supports open access and open science.

In addition, Sustainability has several unique features:

· Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas are welcome;

· Electronic files or software with full details of the calculations and experimental procedures, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material;

· Manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds will be considered.
