Symposium structure

The symposium will use an hybrid format, combining face-to-face with virtual sessions, intended to promote discussion, debate and involvement of participants in order to produce creative and efficient solutions to real and important problems, as well as to answer significant questions about the interaction of people with different environments and contexts affected by Covid19. We will organise the sessions in an academic space where all security measures are guaranteed (social distance, masks, etc.). This international symposium is organized to encourage the participation of scholars and practitioners from different disciplines and areas including psychology, sociology, anthropology, architecture, urban design, and planning, and from a range of countries and cultures.

The organisers will create the necessary online spaces through ordinary sessions, and posters, as well as informal sessions for sharing coffee and informal conversations. Instead of the traditional keynote lectures, the symposium will use a format of plenary sessions which will be organized as panel discussions and will encourage cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural debate.
