We would like to suggest that you let Postgraduate students at your University know about the Encyclopedia, and invite them to contribute to one of the volumes.

 

This will be a nice scientific output, and good for their future career development. The editorial team will offer guidance and advice, making this exercise on academic writing a very good experience to them, hence complementing their training, and also giving a voice to the next generation of scientists, who may be represented on the Encyclopedia. The volumes to which inputs are needed, are:
