The DBE Graduate Research Exchange is a bi-annual forum that brings together traditional and practice-based research in a transdisciplinary environment. Each GRX combines keynote lectures, presentations, panels and workshops, with exhibitions and installations linked to candidate milestones and in-progress talks. The event fosters critical dialogue, shared learning and a visible culture of graduate research across the School of Design and Built Environment.
The GRX offers researchers the opportunity to test ideas, share developing work, receive feedback, and situate their work within wider disciplinary and social conversations. Whether you are a student, researcher, practitioner or member of the public, GRX offers a chance to encounter new ideas, and experience how design and built environment research can shape future communities, practices and ways of thinking.
Registration is essential for the opening and closing event, workshops and panel discussions. Please note that presentations and milestone sessions are open for walk-in attendance.
