Introduction
The 8th Postgraduate Colloquium of Environmental 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ (POCER 2026) aims to provide researchers, particularly Early Career 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ers (ECRs), with a dynamic platform to showcase their work and engage in meaningful discussions. To further support their professional development, the conference will feature a pre-conference workshop designed to cultivate essential skills for impactful research and career progression. These workshops will cover key topics such as grant writing from idea to impact, equipping participants with practical strategies to secure funding and align their proposals with institutional and industry priorities. Additionally, a session on life cycle assessment (LCA) will provide hands-on guidance on evaluating the environmental and economic implications of sustainable materials, particularly benefiting those working in climate adaptation and circular economy models. Beyond academic discourse, POCER 2026 will facilitate engagement between researchers and industry professionals, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange. The conference, themed "Weaving a Resilient and Sustainable Future", brings together experts and researchers to discuss and explore solutions for vital environmental issues.
To ensure the success of POCER 2026, the following support from the 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ & Knowledge Exchange (RKE) Office will be essential:
