Share this Post:

Sub­mit your ab­stract now un­til 15 Feb­ru­ary 2021!

 

Pass­ive House - The key to sus­tain­able build­ings! is the slo­gan of the up­com­ing 25th In­ter­na­tion­al Pass­ive House Con­fer­en­ce in Ger­many´s Wup­per­tal. Ab­stracts on the top­ics be­low can now be sub­mit­ted on­line un­til 15 Feb­ru­ary 2021.

 

Who can sub­mit an ab­stract?

 

The Call for Pa­pers is open to every­one! The top­ics should of­fer con­nect­ing factors, but we are still open to all con­tri­bu­tions that show how the Pass­ive House de­term­ines and ad­vances as key to sus­tain­ab­il­ity on our way to a commnon fu­ture.

 

We kindly ask you not to sub­mit more than two con­tri­bu­tions per per­son.

 

What's the pro­ced­ure?

 

After the dead­line for sub­mis­sions on 15 Feb­ru­ary 2021, a sci­en­tif­ic ad­vis­ory board will de­cide on the con­tri­bu­tions sub­mit­ted. At the ad­vis­ory board meet­ing, 80 con­tri­bu­tions will be se­lec­ted on the basis of a rank­ing.

 

The speak­ers are ex­pec­ted to be in­formed about the ac­cept­ance of their ab­stracts from April 2021 and the con­fer­en­ce pro­gramme will sub­se­quently be pub­lished on our web­site.
