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.
