About

Inspired from the critical challenge of human, environmental, and economic sustainability concerning the present and future generations in a global scale context, this event is a premier interdisciplinary forum for addressing different topics including areas of environmental, health, energy, economics, finance, management, and soci-cultural issues.

This is a full-day event that is delivered in a hybrid mode to facilitate attendance from AUBH community and interested employers. We would like to encourage all members of the AUBH community to submit applications and share their work with others. Research represents a very broad term in this context and could include a scholarly paper, a project you worked on with a faculty member or a recent presentation you gave at a professional meeting. Students are also encouraged to present their scientific and scholarly research conducted during their studies at AUBH.

Participants can join the event and share their work through giving presentations or participating in the poster sessions.

For those who wish to give a presentation, it is required to submit an extended abstract describing the research, its outcomes or work in progress as well as the presentation slides. Extended abstracts should be between 500-1000 words and the presentation should be prepared to fit in a 15-minute slot. Please refer to the attached abstract/poster template, explaining the submission requirements in details.
