- Sustainable and inclusive built environments through placemaking
Research teams are encouraged to submit an Expressions of Interests (EOIs) that address one or, preferably, a combination of the stated themes.
Preselected EOIs will be invited to submit a full proposal. GIB will accept EOIs, submitted in English, until 12 January 2023.
