Program
Three days of co-creation
Welcome Reception on July 26. Sessions on July 27, 28 and 29, 2027.
Event Format
Built for participation, not spectating
Held exclusively in person, the event prioritises direct interaction, collaborative work, in-depth debate and co-creation among researchers, professionals, public officials and civil society.
Keynotes
Plenary voices that set the stage for each stream and open the debate.
Enlightening Talks
Short, provocative sessions built on live interaction between speaker and audience.
Workshops
Working sessions where participants draft joint publications and research proposals.
Action Labs
Co-creation spaces producing policy briefs and actionable roadmaps.
Thematic Panels
Round-table debates on urban design, bio-based construction, smart buildings, digital innovation and equity.
Networking
Structured moments to build the partnerships that outlive the event.
Showcase
Innovative start-ups, municipalities and academia share practical solutions. Public and non-profit organizations are invited to present their actions and results.
Awards & fast-track publication
Top-ranked papers and presentations may receive an institutional award and a fast-track submission opportunity to a partner peer-reviewed journal, with preliminary editorial feedback from the committee.
Event Dynamics
From framing to action plan in three days
For each theme, participants join workshops or thematic panels coordinated by one or more leaders. Plenary sessions bring the groups back together to present results, and synthesis plenaries integrate the work into a final action plan.
