Do you wish to present your research?
Researchers are invited to submit a title and abstract on any housing topic that might question, inform, or support housing policies and practices in Wales. Research conducted outside of Wales is very welcome but should still offer lessons to Welsh policy and practice. Titles and abstracts should be submitted via email to MackieP@cardiff.ac.uk by 30th September 2022 and should be no longer than 250 words. Decisions on abstracts will be made promptly.
