Architecture and Interior Architecture: Research Projects (e.g. Hons)

Conferences are meetings of people of people with a shared interest and are often organised by professional or scholarly bodies and organisations.

Potential benefits of presenting at a conference include:

• exposure of your ideas to a wider audience
• opportunity to obtain feedback from peers
• meeting potential collaborators
• publishing opportunities e.g. you may be invited to contribute a book chapter

Conference papers are the written version of presentations given at these meetings. These may be published in print and/or online conference proceedings.

Not all conference organisers arrange publication of conference papers or proceedings. If you would like to develop your publishing track record check whether your conference paper will be peer reviewed (an indicator of quality) and will be made available by publication (increasing the exposure of your research) before submission.

For more on publishing with impact see the Publishing guide.
