ABSTRACT SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

You are invited to send your abstract to the  5th International Conference of Contemporary Affairs on Architecture and Urbanism which will be held online on 11-13 May 2022 at Alanya HEP University.  At first participants should send their abstracts (in .doc or .docx file format). All abstracts submitted to the conference undergo a blind review process by two anonymous reviewers. The reviewers are chosen from the conference’s scientific review board.

In that case, the field coordinator will wait until he/she receives all reviewer comments on your submission. The field coordinator will then e-mail you directly with a decision.
