The ABP Symposium is an annual opportunity to highlight the research capacity, leadership and/or activity of Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning staff – its multidisciplinary perspectives reflective of the scope and depth of the ABP research community. By connecting with the core themes of the ABP strategic plan as a dynamic and distinctive destination providing world class teaching and research, the ABP Symposium offers a celebration of our achievements but also a chance to lead conversations, and position our research within the context of global discourse about the natural and built environments.
In addition to celebrating our research, the ABP Symposium is a valuable mechanism through which to bridge research and teaching with industry and government. As such, it is important that the ABP Symposium content reflect real-world issues and themes and strive to build connections with a diverse range of external partners and stakeholders.
Furthermore, in support of the University and ABP’s commitment to supporting diversity and inclusion, the ABP Symposium must also aim to ensure a fair and equitable selection process which allows for diverse content and novel forms of communication and engagement.
