Held each year in July, the ASPIRE Forum (http://www.aspireleague.org/activities/aspire-forum/) brings together vice presidents from member universities to share presentations on their universities’ activities during the past year, including reports on inter-league exchanges and research collaborations. The Forum encompasses the Student Workshop, the Symposium, and the Vice Presidents and Senior Staff Meeting.
**ASPIRE Student Workshop**
An exchange program for graduate students, the Student Workshop is comprised of lectures and site visits based on a particular theme set by the university hosting the workshop. Participants are assigned to working groups comprised of students from ASPIRE League member universities and counterparts from European universities in the IDEA League consortium. Each group is tasked with preparation of a presentation on a particular topic to be made to the vice presidents on the final day of the ASPIRE Forum. (As the host university of the event arranges the workshop program and themes, presentation topics and other details may vary.)
**ASPIRE Student Workshop 2016**
The theme of this year’s Forum is “Sustainable Urban Environment and Low Carbon Economy”. This year’s Student Workshop will be a mix of technology sharing and site visits to give students’ first hand appreciation of how innovation and technology can address the grand challenges of our times. Students will be divided into groups; each group having 1 student from each of the member university. Then, working with their respective teammates, students will couple their knowledge with their new findings to present their proposal on what they deem as a “Sustainable Urban Environment and Low Carbon Economy”.
