International perspectives on the design of university campuses – Thoughts after a global pandemic
With speakers from Australia, Sweden and the UK, this Thought-Leadership Event will consider international perspectives on university design, what lessons we might learn from each other and how university campuses might change going forward after the events of the last year. Discussion sessions will be included, so we hope to have lively debate and discussion.
