Ladies and Older Folks Love Green Conferences!
Women and older adults show significantly more favorable attitudes toward sustainable academic conferences. Surprisingly, attendees' field of research and geographic region had little impact on their attitudes. These attitudes focus mainly on sustainable venues, catering, accommodations, and materials, while transportation is the least important factor.
Possible Conflicts of Interest
This paper is financed by F.C.T. - Foundation for Science and Technology through project UIDB/04020/2020. The authors declare no conflict of interest.
Identified Weaknesses
Limited Sample
The sample used in this study is limited to researchers who published their work in Scopus-indexed journals and attended academic events between 2018 and 2020. This narrow focus on a specific population restricts generalizability.
Reliance on Self-Reported Attitudes
The study relies solely on self-reported attitudes, which may not accurately reflect actual behavior. It's important to measure behavior alongside attitudes to get a comprehensive picture.
Broad Geographical Grouping
The geographical areas defined by the UN and used in this study group developed and developing countries together. This grouping can lead to inaccurate comparisons and mask differences within these broad regions.
Rating Explanation
This is a robust study in event sustainability, with strong methodology and statistically significant findings. However, limited generalizability due to the sample choice prevents a top rating.
