The University of Freiburg is launching the «Young Academy for Sustainability Research» for post-doctoral researchers in October 2021. The Young Academy is aiming for interdisciplinary collaboration between outstanding scientists in the field of sustainability research. The goal is to create an institutional framework for early-career researchers to promote interdisciplinary discourse and collaboration, to initiate joint projects, and to create outreach into society. The «Young Academy for Sustainability Research» is open for all disciplines. In its first two years, work at the Young Academy is supposed to revolve broadly around the following two themes and related cross-cutting thematic areas:

• Understanding and managing sustainable energy transitions
• Understanding and managing green infrastructures in socio-ecological systems
