The China New Development Awards for academic books is one part of the Springer Nature SDG Programme, which features cutting-edge research from a wide range of science, engineering, social sciences and humanities disciplines, as well as across brands, platforms and product types. By creating new partnerships and new ways of collaborating, we want to improve the process of sharing discoveries on the world stage, and help practitioners to develop innovative and effective policies, programmes and technologies to tackle major social, environmental and economic challenges.
Through the Springer Nature SDG Programme, we want to better support researchers to help them to attract the wider attention of the policy and business communities who can put research insights into action to solve regional and global issues.
Making meaningful progress towards the delivery of the SDGs requires strong, sustained interaction not only between professional communities, but also between the research fields themselves. The approach to tackle urgent societal challenges must be multi-disciplinary, as no one research area can solve the challenges of global hunger, poverty, or climate change. By breaking down disciplinary silos, both in publishing and across the global research community, the Springer Nature SDG Programme aims to inspire new connections and help deliver real progress.
