The conference invites researchers, architects and social partners to share their knowledge and experiences from their fields of expertise according to the topics of the Conference, but not limited.

ICDA would like to announce a new platform of contribution in the conferences called “Intensives” that incorporates a spectrum of possibilities including but not limited to the presentation of concept/notion, research in progress, or an incomplete research demanding a start for potential future collaborations. This platform should follow any of the key formats of:

• poster;
• face to face oral PowerPoint presentation;
• recorded video.

In-person or virtual, intensive sessions principally aim to create opportunities of developing the researches that have yet to be complete but need external support of networking for their full accomplishments. The short sessions in the conferences will perform as a multidisciplinary scene to introduce and discuss these projects within the academics and professionals of various disciplines.

Requirements:

1. The initial submission should include the abstract of maximum of 300 words. It is necessary to clearly state the main concern or question under investigation, and the potential outcome(s) of the research. It is also recommended to include your expectations of selecting this mode of presentation (i.e. asking for advices, looking for potential collaborations or academic partners to develop the research, requiring suggestions on helpful references, etc).
2. Upon approval of the abstract, the presenter should present their full paper on conference date; in any of the three selected above-mentioned formats, either online or face to face.

Notes:

1. In case of selecting the mode of “poster presentation”, it is suggested to apply the more common graphic-presentation sizes (i.e 50cm*70cm or 70*100). Other preferred sizes, however, will be acceptable and just need to be informed prior to the conference for arranging the required space for the presentation. In case of selecting the mode of “short PowerPoint presentation” or “recorded video”, please do not exceed 15 minutes. A time frame of 10-15 minutes is strongly recommended.
2. Intensive submissions for both on site and virtual conferences should be registered as Oral Presentation Category.
