From 2017 onwards the IJHP will be awarding an annual prize for the article that makes the best contribution to comparative housing analysis. We encourage early career researchers to write critical articles that link housing policy to larger societal developments. We specifically welcome contributions that take on a cross-country comparative approach, comparing housing issues in multiple countries.
The winning article will be awarded a 500-euro conference bursary and a certificate, in addition to time limited free journal access. The winning article will receive extensive marketing on social media and the publisher’s website.
Eligibility:
- Articles should focus on housing policy (or related issues) in a comparative perspective, analysing at least two countries;
- Articles should include a critical analysis of housing policy from a social science perspective that contributes to the current state of the debate;
- The article should not have more than two authors; the first author should be an early career researcher (that is author should be a PhD student OR should have received a PhD in the preceding five years at date of submission);
- Regular journal requirements are applicable, for the author guidelines.
