Abstract

This document contains guidelines for preparation of full papers for the XXXVII IAHS World Congress on Housing. It defines the layout and formatting of papers, dates for submission by authors and return dates from the Scientific Secretariat with comments. The name and contact details of the author are to be clearly indicated in a covering letter. The first page includes the congress headline, the title, name and contact details of the author, keywords and abstract. The abstract must not go over into the 2nd page and must not be more than 300 words. The abstract is to indicate the subject of the paper, how the author proposes to develop the subject and its overall objective, aim or outcome. Abstracts will be reviewed in terms of relevance to the Congress, its purpose, scope and themes and the potential contribution to knowledge, design or transformation in housing environments. Authors are to indicate into which of the five themes their paper would best fit. The last date for submission of abstracts is 28 February, 2010.
