Introduction
The Sustainable Global Societies Initiative (SGS-24) is an essential part of the Lincoln-SPAST Global Sustainability programme & Conferences, held quarterly on the 24th and 25th of January, April, July, and October each year. This series of events is a collaborative platform hosted by Lincoln University College Malaysia and SPAST Foundation, dedicated to advancing sustainability through research. As a key event under the Lincoln Global Postdoctoral & Researcher Programme (L-GPR), SGS-24 facilitates knowledge exchange by connecting emerging researchers with accomplished professionals and field experts, creating a unique environment for presenting progressive research in sustainable development.
Points Based System: L-GPR
Please note that this program includes a points-based evaluation system, essential for the successful completion of the postdoctoral research or Global Research Associate roles. Candidates are required to accumulate a certain number of points as outlined in the "Standard Operating Procedures" of the Lincoln Global Postdoctoral & Researcher Programme (L-GPR).
Each stage, review meeting, and final presentation in the program has specific components and milestones, such as conference presentations and journal article publications. Points for completion are detailed in the table, with tasks designated as mandatory (T1 and T2) and others conditionally required or optional.
Candidates must meet a minimum of 60 points, with opportunities to earn additional points by publishing extra research or fulfilling alternative requirements if any primary tasks are not fully completed. If candidates partially complete Task T2* (achieving only half the required points), they may fulfill the remaining points through Task T3 as a bonus.
In addition, the annual Grant Challenge offers a prestigious research grant and has its own set of eligibility criteria. To qualify, candidates must fulfill specific publication and presentation requirements, including lead authorship on conference papers and journal articles indexed in SCI/WoS, along with potential patent filings. Additional points are awarded for work demonstrating market readiness and skill development potential, further aligning with the program’s goals of fostering employability and research commercialization.
