SMR particularly encourages contributions grounded in humanities and social sciences perspectives, and it also welcomes sustainability-related research from STEM fields to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and integrated solutions that support long-term development while safeguarding environmental integrity, social wellbeing, and ethical responsibility.
