Sessions and Papers
Equity and Social Cohesion

Wednesday, 29 April 2009


We are glad to present the results of the two calls for the IHDP Open Meeting 2009. We are very happy about the number and quality of sessions and papers submitted. This list provides you with an overview of the current status in our allocation of papers to sessions. However, at this moment we cannot completely guarantee the session allocation or time slot for each paper, as some minor changes to the list are still expected. Abstracts of papers and sessions, as well as concrete time slots for each session will be available soon.

You are invited to have a look and get back to us if you have any questions or if you request changes to be made. We will try to incorporate the requested changes sent by February, 28th. However, please keep in mind that due to the great amount of presentations we will be only able of reallocating papers to other sessions on an exceptional basis. Please contact Ms Esra Bozkir at bozkir@ihdp.unu.edu for that.

The size of some sessions still varies significantly. If sessions will have more than 5 or 6 papers after a final round of changes and amendments, they will become double sessions, unless the convenor decides differently.

Tip: When looking for the allocation of your own paper, use your browser's find function to look for your name or paper title.
