Vote now in the ‘2025 PhD Video Challenge – People's Vote’

The journal Buildings & Cities and the ARL are calling for participation in the 2025 PhD Video Challenge – People's Vote. Under the motto ‘Why It Matters’, doctoral students explain in short 2-minute videos why their research is relevant to society, the built environment and the future.

Public voting will take place from 27 October 2025 to 12 November 2025. Voting will be based on narrative style, accessibility, social significance, originality and creativity, among other criteria.
