Join us at the upcoming ASEOP annual congress in Istanbul
The F&SR team is happy to announce its participation in the 37th AESOP Annual Congress, taking place during July 7-11, 2025, in Istanbul and invites the congress’ attendees to join the SURE events at the conference:
- Presentation ‘Reflective Practice as a Catalyst for Transformative Urban Research’: Focus of the presentation by the SURE F&SR team, is their impact-oriented monitoring framework Reframe’ developed from practical experiences across various projects within the SURE Funding Priority. This framework consists of two key components: self-defined references, enabling projects to set their objectives as criteria, and a culture of reflection that encourages continuous realignment of these objectives based on real-world experiences.
- Presentation ‘Sustainable Challenges and Solution Pathways: A Meta-Perspective on Transdisciplinary Urban Research in Southeast Asia and China’: The SURE F&SR team will present the results of a meta-analysis of the last five years of the SURE projects aimed to identify recurring problem patterns, solution pathways, and innovative tools related to climate adaptation and localized Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The analysis reveals that transdisciplinary methods of co-creation, collaboration, and balancing power dynamics can foster meaningful dialogue and practical solutions.
- Presentation ‘Towards a Domain specific Large Language Models (LLM) for Sustainable Urban Development: Extracting Research trends and topics from Text Data’: The research results presented here belong to a series of experiments designed to establish a benchmark methodology to identify topic clusters and monitor research trends under the SURE Funding Priority. The presentation focuses on the application of an LLM-based methodology to establish a method of machine-based extraction of topics based on the analysed case studies.
- Roundtable discussion ‘Co-Production of Knowledge for Transformative Action’: This session will explore the challenges and opportunities of knowledge co-production in international urban research, focusing on the role of universities in fostering collaborative research and partnerships with local communities and policymakers. The SURE F&SR Team is looking forward to discuss the topic with Anke Hagemann (Urban-Rural Assembly), Wolfgang Scholz (LIRLAP), Binh Minh Hoang (GreenCityLabHuế) and Tep Makathy (Build4People).
Take the opportunity to meet us in person and engage in insightful discussions! We are looking forward to meeting you there.
