	Overview of the Conference About the 2007 AUBEA Conference The 2007 annual conference of the Australasian Universities Building Education Association (AUBEA) is promising a return to the more traditional emphasis of AUBEA, with emphasis on teaching, networking, collaboration and quality management. The strong research emphasis remains, but the sessions will be divided between presentation of refereed outputs and workshops on teaching, research mangement and quality. The research component of the conference will be focussed to be more like a Journal, with quality refereed papers being published electronically but with the added advantage of an opportunity to present the paper to the education community. Presentations will be kept short, and the results fed into discussion sessions. Recent conference research topics continue: construction management, quantity surveying, construction economics and value management, building science and technology, building services, materials, building control, building surveying, property economics, project management and facilities management. In 2007 we will also return to calling for papers on our traditional themes of teaching and research management. Topics will include: Research Quality Framework (strategy and impact), Education Quality Framework (and AUQA), Collaboration, Teaching methods, Funding, International markets, etc. The conference will minimise the number of breakout sessions by reducing the time available for presentations. The emphasis for the research papers will be through the proceedings, so the presenters will be invited to present their key findings and to tell the attendees what to look out for in their paper. This will create a fast-paced presentation and leave room for discussion forums and workshops on traditional AUBEA themes. Authors will be invited to submit workshop papers. These will be refereed position papers, but must include a framework for consequent discussion which the author(s) will facilitate. While the papers must stand alone in the proceedings, the workshop components will for the basis for the workshop session. The call for papers will include a call for workshop papers. Abstracts are requested to express your interest. Referees will review papers only.   home | overview | program | call for papers | submission papers | registration | organization | schedule | links
