Topic

The symposium provides a forum for PhD candidates and reserachers who are working in all fields of science related to the built environment and are interested in presenting their work to an interdisciplinary audience of experienced researchers from the Baltic Sea Region. The focus of the symposium is on innovation through interdisciplinary collaboration in the process of designing and developing of the built environment.  Its aim is to support interdisciplinary and international communication between young scientists to facilitate collaborative research, networking, and knowledge transfer on the interdisciplinary research within the disciplines of the built environment. 

Participants are highly encouraged to reflect on their work from an interdisciplinary perspective. This includes a reflection on their research question as well as on their methodology in the context of the interdisciplinary scientific research. The potential of the research outcomes for further interdisciplinary collaboration or the potential of the used methodology for further implementation in interdisciplinary context should be identified and specifically addressed in the submitted abstract.

The parallel sessions serve as a discussion platform with individual presentations and allow for constructive feedback and interaction between the young researchers and the experienced ones. The symposium will be opened by a keynote lecture and will be closed with a plenary discussion.

Accepted papers will be distributed to the conference attendees and will be peer-reviewed after the symposium. There will be a digital conference publication with an ISBN number (conference proceedings). Further publication opportunities are in negotiation and will be announced soon.
