Call for Contributions – Academic Advocacy on Climate and Environmental Issues

This call, anchored in the "En Route pour la COP Climat" events series led by the International and Europe Programme of the IdEx, is open throughout the year. Contributions received each year will be evaluated by a scientific jury of the IdEx as part of a competition, and the authors of the most relevant and impactful texts will be rewarded with participation in international events, depending on the profiles and availability of the winners.

How to participate
The call invites participants to write a structured and well-argued text on the challenges of climate change and its societal, economic and environmental impacts. Advocacy texts submitted each year before December 31st will be evaluated as part of the competition. Texts received after this date will be considered for the following year.

Advocacy texts (2 to 3 pages, following the attached guidelines, in English) should be sent to the following address: advocacy@univ-cotedazur.fr

Evaluation Criteria
The text will be assessed on:
- the relevance of the topics addressed in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals,
- the use of scientific references and reliable data,
- the quality and coherence of the overall argumentation,
- the persuasiveness of both the diagnosis and the proposed solutions.

Dissemination and recognition of your commitment
Contributions will be reviewed and validated by the IdEx scientific jury, then published in Open Science on the University website and in the advocacy collection. Two advocacy texts will be selected and rewarded by the committee (participation in an international event).

Please note that in the case of collective work involving more than 2 authors, it will not be possible to reward all contributors.
