Awards

At SustainNatural-2026, we believe that some of the most impactful scientific discussions happen not only during keynote lectures but also alongside poster boards, where young researchers, students, and early-career scientists have the opportunity to engage directly with global experts.

The Poster Session is a cornerstone of the conference, creating a dynamic platform for exchanging ideas, receiving valuable feedback, building collaborations, and exploring innovative solutions for sustainable natural products and climate-resilient technologies. These interactions often spark new research directions, partnerships, and opportunities that extend far beyond the conference itself.

To recognize excellence in scientific communication and encourage emerging researchers in the field of natural products and sustainability, MDPI Pharmaceuticals and Impact Research Communications (IRC) will each present one Best Poster Award at SustainNatural-2026.

These awards are intended to acknowledge outstanding research, presentation quality, and contribution to the conference while supporting the professional development of students and early-career researchers.
