Details of conference sessions

Paper Session

• A paper session includes a series of individual presentations followed by discussion.
• 60 minute session, 10-15 minutes per presentation
• Maximum of 3 presenters per session
• An abstract for each presenter is required (max 200 words) and should be submitted on an individual basis

Lightning Paper Session

• The lightning paper session is a larger group of short presentations. These papers can be on methods, summarise research or pose a significant question for housing studies. These provocations will then be discussed collectively.

Panel Session

• A panel session consists of participants examining a topic followed by questions from audience members. Organising a panel session provides presenters with a forum to explore a specific area of interest within the broader theme – and is a great opportunity for Early Career Researchers to demonstrate research leadership.
• 60 minute session
• An abstract for the panel session is required by the session organiser (max 200 words) including the format that you will take and named panellists
