Calling all PhD students who are undertaking research on built environment issues!
CIB’s Encouraged Journal Buildings & Cities has announced a new competition, the aims of which align directly with CIB’s objectives, and we are pleased to encourage participation from PhD students in the CIB Student Chapter network and beyond.
PhD students are invited to create a 2-minute video to explain the significance of their research and articulate a ‘big picture’ view of its potential contribution. Each participant’s video should explain clearly, succinctly and creatively why their research matters. By engaging in this video challenge, participants will improve their communication skills and enhance the visibility of their work.
This ‘video challenge’ celebrates a diversity of built environment research from PhD students in many countries and built environment disciplines. Collectively, these videos will illustrate the importance and interest of emerging built environment research to civil society, politics and industry.
The videos should pertain to research about the built environment and its impacts in the broadest sense: the social and physical resources, creation, use, operation, maintenance & stewardship of the built environment (buildings, neighbourhoods, cities, peri-urban & rural areas, infrastructure) including social, environmental, economic & physical aspects. The topic may be transdisciplinary in nature or be based in a specific discipline: sociology, geography, construction, engineering, facilities management, architecture, planning, real estate, urban studies, environmental design, finance, project management, business, etc.
It’s free. There is no fee to enter. There are costs involved in producing and creating the video which are the applicants’ responsibility.
The deadline is 17 OCTOBER 2022, but it takes some time to prepare and make a video – hence the importance of having plenty of time to create this video.
The PhD Video Challenge is organised by Buildings & Cities CIB Encouraged Journal and ARL.
