Congress Contributions: Be Part of the Congress Programme 

Abstracts are welcome in the following 4 categories: 

1. Case Study Report + Track Presentation

Case Study Reports contribute to Planning Practice and/or Policy by providing evidence and evaluation of work – a specific project, plan, policy or design – that can either be already completed or in the implementation phase. Case Study Reports will be included in the Congress Proceedings.

2. Case Study Track Presentation without Report

Contributors are welcome to present their Case Study, without the obligation to submit a full Case Study Report. Please note that in this case, the presentation will not be included in the proceedings or any other post-congress publication.

3. Research Paper + Track Presentation

Research Papers should represent an academic contribution to a specific field, discipline and/or topic within one of the Tracks (selected at submission). Final Research Papers will be assigned a DOI number (Digital Object Identifier), will be included in the Congress Proceedings and the ISOCARP searchable paper platform-after the congress.

4. Special Sessions

Propose a Special Session focusing on an innovative, cross-cutting, globally relevant topic that intersects with several of the Congress Tracks. Special Session submitters are invited to be creative with the format of their session (panel, roundtable, game, workshop, outside activity/site visit, debate etc.). 

You are required to follow the Submission Guidelines here: ISOCARP Conference Submission Guidelines and to read the Conference Policy here: Conference Policy.
