APRU Sustainable Cities and Landscapes Conference 2025
Student Symposium
SCL Conference committee is thrilled to invite students from APRU members institutions to the SCL Student Symposium, a pre-conference event designed to offer support and networking opportunity for participants. Taking place on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, this event will be a dynamic and interactive experience that will empower students of all levels with essential skills and connections to thrive in the respective field of research.
Why You Should Attend:
- Gain Feedback on Your Research:
Present summaries of your research or current project in thematic workshops led by faculty experts from SCL Working Groups. Receive constructive feedback from peers and academics, and prepare to contribute actively to workshop sessions and the edited volume. - Build Your Networking Skills:
Participate in speed networking sessions to refine your personal “elevator pitch.” This fun and fast-paced activity will boost your confidence in public speaking and prepare you to effectively communicate your ideas to diverse audiences. - Develop Professional Connections:
Learn structured strategies to foster meaningful relationships in your field during the professional networking session. We will have programming to encourage you to connect with conference participants and speakers throughout the week, helping you build a robust professional network. - Expand Your Academic Horizons:
As a participant, you’ll also have the chance to submit an abstract for the main conference, present your work, and engage with leading scholars and professionals across various disciplines.
