Submission Guidelines for the Young
Researcher and Kreiser Awards
It is with great pleasure that we announce the 26th Global Conference on Environmental Taxation (GCET26), to be hosted by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul Law School, in collaboration with the Federal University of Ceará, from 24 to 26 September 2025, in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
The GCET provides an exceptional international and interdisciplinary platform to explore pressing issues related to the design and implementation of public policies on environmental taxation. The conference also fosters a rich environment for academic exchange and collaboration among scholars, policymakers, and practitioners from around the world.
One of the key aims of the GCET is to recognize and encourage high-quality work by early-career researchers in the field of environmental taxation and sustainability. In this spirit, we are pleased to invite applications for the Young Researcher Award. Eligible candidates are students or researchers who are under 35 years of age as of the abstract submission deadline.
For GCET26, the Call
for Abstracts has been extended until 30 June 2025, offering
additional time for interested participants to prepare and submit their
proposals.
To be considered for the
Young Researcher Award, applicants must have submitted:
·
An
abstract of no more than 400 words, strictly following the required format (no
figures, tables, footnotes, endnotes, or references); and
·
A
short biographical note (up to 150 words) for the presenting author.
Upon acceptance of the
abstract, candidates must complete their conference registration to
remain eligible.
Following registration, full papers must be submitted in accordance with specific instructions that will be provided by the conference secretariat. These guidelines will be available through the participant dashboard on the official GCET26 website and sent via email. Applicants should also be prepared to provide proof of age (e.g., a copy of an ID) if requested. We kindly advise participants to monitor their dashboards and emails regularly and to comply with deadlines in order to avoid last-minute complications.
In contrast, the Kreiser Award is not open to direct submission. This distinguished annual honor is awarded to an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the advancement of environmental taxation and the use of economic instruments for sustainability. The recipient is selected by the Chair of this year’s GCET26, based on evidence of impact—such as influential academic publications, policy leadership, or innovative practices. Although there is no formal application process for the Kreiser Award, we welcome nominations from the academic and professional community. A nomination letter should briefly highlight the nominee’s key achievements and their significance to the field. The final decision will rest solely with the Chair of this year’s GCET26.
For both awards, we kindly encourage all participants to consult the official GCET26 website for the most current and detailed information. Should any questions arise, please do not hesitate to contact the Conference Co-Chairs (sending email to [email protected] and [email protected].
