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

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.
