Two honorary mentions was handed out, one to PhD student Ana Goidea, and one to the team behind the IIIEE podcast.
The podcast was initiated in 2018 by Sofie Sandin Lompar and Steven Curtis, who were PhD students at the time. They recognised that much of the research conducted within academia is not accessible to the public. In part, this is because the research that is published is not easily understood by a lay audience, which is often only available to people and institutions that pay publishers to access this content. As such, Steven and Sofie sought to find a medium to communicate the ongoing research at the IIIEE in a way that was accessible and contextualised to a general audience interested in sustainability and the events at the IIIEE. The podcast has produced 30 episodes and received 46 000 downloads, placing it in the top 10% of all podcasts globally.
