Special Session - Young Researchers Workshop:
Sustainable Rehabilitation to Sustainable Communities
Org. Susana Lucas (Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal) and Fátima Farinha (University of Algarve)
Master’s students and young researchers are invited to present a Poster at the 41st IAHS World Congress on Housing. This is an opportunity for young researchers just starting out in the scientific community to disseminate their work.
It is intended for young researchers to submit a poster (in English, prepared according to this A1 template) illustrating their work, and make a short oral presentation of 5 minutes (in English) based on their poster at a special session of the Congress. Before the end of the session an informal discussion between the students and the audience regarding the exposed subjects will be allowed.
To submit your work to this session please send in before 29 February (via e-mail to iahs2016@itecons.uc.pt) an abstract (under 200 words) summarizing your work.
