39th International Association for Time Use Research Conference
The International Association for Time Use Research (IATUR vzw), and the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid are pleased to host the 39th IATUR conference at the Superior Technical School of Industrial Engineers, Madrid, Spain on 19-21 July 2017.
This year’s conference theme is Time use research: past, present and future perspectives.
The conference invites abstracts for papers that deal with any aspect of time use research, though this event particularly welcomes papers related to -but not limited to- the vast array of traditional and new perspectives in topics such as: collection methods, empirical analysis, social policy, well-being, societal trends, analytical perspectives and modelling.
Abstract submission
Please submit your abstract online through the IATUR CRM. Abstracts should include:
- Presentation title
- Type of presentation (oral presentation or poster)
- The name of the presenting author
- The name of all other authors
- Abstract (250-350 words maximum)
The deadline for submitting abstracts for guaranteed consideration for oral presentations is 15 April, 2017. All people who submitted their abstracts by this date will receive a notification of acceptance by 30 April 2017. Researchers can continue to submit abstracts for poster presentations until 30 June 2017. Where possible, we will try to include papers in the oral presentation sessions if authors so wish, but we make no guarantee for placement of abstracts submitted later. Deadline for financial support, cancellation refunds, and early, lower-rate registration are final.
Review and Selection
Abstracts will undergo a formal peer-review evaluation by the local scientific committee.
