Dear Colleagues,
 
 For the past seven years, we have been building dreams in our pursuit of a shared vision for a brighter future. In 2024, we are proud to celebrate the seventh anniversary of the establishment of the Belt and Road Architectural University International Consortium (BRAUIC). Throughout these years, our architectural universities along the Belt and Road have played a pivotal role in fostering integration and win-win cooperation, setting an innovative example of how professional university alliances  can  contribute  to  the  high-quality  development  of  the  Belt  and  Road  initiative.  To highlight the achievements of educational cooperation along the Belt and Road and plan for the future  training  of  innovative  talents,  scientific  collaboration  and  cultural  exchange,  the  2024 BRAUIC Conference and Forum will be held from 18th  to 20th   October, 2024, in Tianjin, China. The Conference aims to bring together delegates from member universities, government officials, researchers,  experts,  and  entrepreneurs  from  various  countries.  The  conference  will  provide  a platform for participants to exchange experiences, share new ideas, and showcase best practices that contribute to high-quality development. By doing so, it will further consolidate the Community of Architectural Education under the Belt and Road initiative. The theme of the conference and forum is: Together in Architecture, Building Prosperityfor All.
 
  As the host of the 2024 BRAUIC Conference and Forum, we sincerely invite you and your Esteemed colleagues to join us as our special guests for this significant event. We would be honored to have your esteemed Rector/President deliver a keynote address at the conference.
