Architecture and Engineering Conference @ Paragon International University

Paragon International University hosts a pay-to-present conference on campus on 11 Nov.

Organizers of this event called for papers to be submitted for presentation at a conference on 11 Nov in Phnom Penh. Notably, the call requires that submitters pay fees to confirm their spot to present their publications. While this point is a little bit unsteady for the likes of our open dialogue-style hosting for learning and exchange here at DESK, we understand it takes a lot of energy to bring people together in this way. And bring people together in person is a lovely opportunity to connect meaningfully. This kind of gathering of people from different but related disciplines across the A/E/ C field is a welcome thing to find in Canbodia. DESK is curious.

A cross-disciplinary call for architecture, design, construction, and supply chain professionals and students to come together in one spot and talk about their work.

The speakers slated to talk, according to the website, includes Angkeara Svay of Degrand AC & Engineering, who will speak about soil structures under earthquake conditions in Cambodian case studies. The review committee includes staff and lecturers at Paragon Internatioal University: Lida Sorn, a structural engineering and materials lecturer, Pisith Hun who researches urban planning and is an rchitecture department lecturer; and geotech specialist and civil engineering lecturer Ranysakol Thuon.

It is unclear if there is a cost to attend.
