The aim of RAE2016 is to discuss and exchange experiences on educational innovation in undergraduate and postgraduate studies in architecture and urbanism. Seeking to instil in graduates the necessary skills and knowledge for working and improving their practice, the conference acknowledges and celebrates the uniqueness of these fields of knowledge.

The Organizing Committee invites you to submit an abstract for consideration by the Conference’s Scientific Committee. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to develop a full paper for presentation at the RAE2016 Conference. Proposals may be submitted as:

PAPER PRESENTATION

An accepted proposal for a single paper presentation (prepared by one or more authors) will be assigned to a 15 minutes formal oral presentation. Presentations are grouped according to topic or perspective into these themed sessions (which are usually of either 75 or 100 minutes), with time provided after all of the presentations for Q&A and group discussion. Authors are welcome to include visual supports (paper handouts, computer slides, or digital displays) to assist delivery of their oral presentation. Please note that we cannot provide photocopying facilities at the Conference, but we will provide data projectors in each room. Multiple-authored presentations are welcome, although only one article may be submitted based on each presentation.

POSTER OR EXHIBIT SESSION

This format is ideal for presenting preliminary results of work in progress or for projects of potential visual displays and representations. In these sessions (generally about 45 minutes), a number of authors have the opportunity to display or exhibit their work and engage in informal discussion about their work with other delegates throughout the session. Displays may be posters (1.00x1.00 meters), digital/computer displays, artwork, or other visual media. Each display should include a brief abstract of the purpose and procedures of the work; handouts or copies of written material may also be available. Space for the poster or exhibit will be provided by the conference host, however all materials must be organized by the presenter, including posters, displays, handouts or other appropriate materials.
