Stadtkolloquium is an interdisciplinary academic forum organized by postgraduate students based at University College London’s Urban Laboratory. It aims to encourage the dissemination and discussion of PhD level urban research in a friendly and constructive atmosphere by providing open and informal outlets in which to air theoretical, practical and methodological questions and issues amongst peer PhD students across departments and universities. Stadtkolloquium warmly welcomes the involvement of research students from London, UK and international institutions besides UCL and strongly encourages their participation.
