Rising Stars in Housing Conditions and Public Health: 2026

Recognizing the future leaders of Environmental Health is fundamental to safeguarding tomorrow's driving force in innovation. This collection will showcase the high-quality work of international researchers in the early stages of their careers. We aim to highlight research by leading scientists of the future across the entire breadth of Housing Conditions and Public Health, and present advances in theory, experiment and methodology with applications to compelling problems.A Rising Star is typically an early career researcher generally someone within 0–10 years of completing a PhD (or equivalent professional training). They often hold roles such as postdoctoral researcher, lecturer, or research assistant, and are still building their independent careers by shaping a research program, pursuing funding opportunities, and publishing their work. Submissions are open to all eligible candidates, and any Rising Star researcher may submit their work for consideration in the collection. While future innovations in Housing Conditions and Public Health are yet to be discovered, this Research Topic will give us a hint at whom to follow.
