The BUP Symposium 2022

The Symposium 2022 will be held 8 November online via Zoom.

The Symposium is a platform where the regional educational and research communities can get together and get to know their colleagues at participating universities of The Baltic University Programme (BUP). The Symposium is an arena where you can disseminate recent research and where new discussions and collaborations can begin. We are challenging researchers from different disciplines with an interest in the Baltic Sea Region as an empirical field to discuss Sustainable Development in the Baltic Sea Region. We focus on research having an inter-/multi disciplinary approach.

During the Symposium last year there was a focus on networking and collaboration which will be even more present during the Symposium 2022.

The Symposium will feature oral presentations from researchers from BUP participating universities in the Baltic Sea Region. The presentations will be sorted within the BUP themes. During the afternoon there will be a session that focuses on future research collaboration and projects. Those that attend will get to share new research and project ideas as well as search for new project partners. This will be an opportunity to establish new contacts in a related field in different countries and universities; internationalisation in practice.

Symposium practicalities

The date of the BUP Symposium is 8 November 2022.

To make the Symposium accessible to as many colleagues as possible we will hold it as a virtual symposium. To participate in the Symposium, prior registration is required. Keynote speakers and research presentations will be organised as webinars.

Scientific committees evaluate and consider submitted abstracts for oral presentations, and bring forward the ones that meet the criteria.
