The
18th APRU Multi-Hazards Symposium 2023 will be held on November 29 - 30 in Singapore. This year’s symposium will be organised
and hosted by the Earth Observatory of Singapore from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in collaboration with the
APRU. The theme of this year’s symposium is “Advancing Frontiers in Disaster Risk Science, Technology and Policy”.
With the event hosted in Singapore, we aim to leverage the country’s unique setting and future-driven orientation
to host a dynamic conference, with the end goal of facilitating idea exchange and potential opportunities for projects. This
year’s in-person event is expected to host about 200 participants. The symposium will have a format that bridges both the
traditional conference style of guest lectures, posters and presentations, and activities that allow for a more interactive
dialogue.
The overall programme will include plenary keynote talks, networking sessions around posters, and breakout
sessions that will be clustered into six topics defined by the science committee. During the breakout sessions, three sessions
will run in parallel in separate rooms, with each session dedicated to a specific topic. Each session consists of scientific
presentations and roundtable discussions for collaborative exchange between participants and their peers. The roundtable discussions
will focus on relevant problem statements. These could address topical issues proposed by industry guests or other stakeholders,
challenges and successes in the participants’ research, and ideas for future research direction.
Deadline for registration
is 15 November 2023.
