[Call for Abstracts] Academic Workshop on Climate Neutral Buildings and Cities
The BAS2026 in Conjunction with the 2026 AUA Academic Workshop on Climate Neutral Buildings and Cities will be held at HKUST on 11–13 June 2026. The AUA Board Meeting 2025 approved an HKUST-hosted AUA Academic Conference, tentatively titled “Smart and Low Carbon City.” The conference proposer later revised the title and scheduled the event in conjunction with BAS2026.
The academic conference is a collaborative initiative among academic institutions to foster scholarly exchange and dialogue on climate neutral buildings and cities. Distinguished professors, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students from AUA member universities and non-AUA universities will be invited to participate. A summary of information for AUA participants appears in the table below. Additional information is available on the conference website: https://www.bas2026.org
