Following the beginning of 2015, the Center for International Relations and Sustainable Development (CIRSD) decided to launch a new column entitled Young Contributors. The column is intended to gather young talents and experts, offering them a first-hand opportunity to publish their papers on international relations and sustainable development.
The column aims to present young authors with an opportunity to express their ideas and to contribute to a wider public understanding of pressing regional and global issues.
In this way, CIRSD would like to extend its support for young experts, and make their findings available to a broader audience—thereby opening a new forum for discussion on critical matters of public concern.
CIRSD hereby calls upon all potential authors with a university degree, specializing in a field complementary with one of the CIRSD’s Programs, to send their papers to the following e-mail address: [email protected].
The Center for International Relations and Sustainable Development reserves the right to define its own criteria pertaining to reviewing and selecting articles for publication on the official website. The criteria will include underlying relevance of topics, quality of the received contributions, and compatibility with our Mission Statement and professional standards.
