Homelessness Research Conference (Melbourne)

The Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) and RMIT University are pleased to announce the inaugural Homelessness Research Conference to be held in Melbourne in April 2012.

This is an important event for the National Homelessness Research Network, and will provide the opportunity to hear from many of Australia’s leading researchers - to not only get a sense of what research is currently underway and what research methods and approaches are being used, but also to consider what further homelessness research is needed.

The conference will include a call for the submission of abstracts with all approved papers to be peer reviewed. 

The conference will also be a chance to hear from international experts Dr Dennis Culhane, Professor of Social Policy, University of Pennsylvania (USA) and Dr Volker Busch-Geertsema, Chair, European Observatory on Homelessness (Germany).

In addition to homelessness researchers, the conference is a must attend event for senior policy-makers and practitioners in the homelessness and allied sectors. It will provide a rare opportunity to focus on current homelessness research in Australia and to facilitate the knowledge transfer to contemporary policy and practice settings.
