About the Conference

The international conference on Resilient and Responsible Architecture and Urbanism was IEREK's first initiative in the Netherlands. In collaboration with Hanze University, this conference provided participants with a well-rounded cultured and academic experience that surely allowed scholars to build on their knowledge and expertise.

During the opening session on the first day of the conference, participants were welcomed by the distinguished professors, Mark Mobach, Mieke Oostra, and Rob Verhofstad. This was followed by a series of presentations that the participants found very beneficial and eye-opening: The Value of Architecture in Circular City Making by Marthijn Pool, Towards a New Paradigm: The Living Building Approach as a Co-Creation Beyond Classical Supply and Demand, and Resilience, Resourcefulness and Spatial Planning by Ina Horlings.

The opening session was then followed by an individual session where participants of the conference presented their research. The following days included several other parallel sessions with topics ranging from Sustainable Architecture to Economics and governance.

On the last day of the conference, the participants were all invited to join us for a walk in the cultured city of Groningen after receiving their certificates for attending the conference. All the research papers presented at this conference are being processed for publishing in a book series by Springer titled "Advances in Science Technology & Innovation."
