GAIA Best Paper Award 2024

Oliver Parodi, Susanne Ober, Daniel J. Lang and Marius Albiez are the winners of the GAIA Best Paper Award 2024. They receive the award for their article Real-world lab versus real-world experiment: What makes the difference?  (GAIA 2/2024) (German).

Their paper is highly valued for its contribution to the consolidation of a young research field through precise terminological and conceptual distinctions, clarifying the relationship between real-world labs and experiments to maximize their potential. It also highlights the risks of vague terminology, with significant research and societal implications, especially in Germany.

In addition, GAIA’s Editorial Board gave an honorable mention to:

Jasmin Wiefek, Emilia Nagy, Martina Schäfer: Formative evaluation of transdisciplinary research for systematic impact orientation in real-world laboratories  (GAIA S1/2024)

The Gaia Society, Editorial Board and Editorial Office would like to extend their congratulations to all authors.

GAIA’s Best Paper Award honors outstanding articles published in the journal, selected for excellence and relevance in sustainability research. The winner is chosen by GAIA’s Scientific Advisory Board through a reasoned vote.
