The workshop will take place in Izmir, Turkey from 6 to 9 July, 2012, and will be carried out in conjunction with the 26th AESOP Congress to be held in Ankara, Turkey from 11 to 15 July, 2012.
As 2012 marks the 25th Anniversary of AESOP, the Workshop will also feature special activities to celebrate the occasion, and will serve as a platform for the launch of discussions on how to enhance the relationship between AESOP and the AESOP Young Academics Network, a debate which will be addressed further during the Ankara Congress.

The Call for Abstracts for AESOP2012 PhD Workshop has now started.

We invite PhD students from Europe and elsewhere to share their research ideas, experiences, methods and concerns in this intensive programme, which will comprise plenary sessions, roundtable discussions and excursions. Any PhD students conducting research in themes related to planning and spatial development are welcome to apply.

The deadline for application and abstract submission is February 29, 2012.
