CONGRESS VENUE
The 21st Congress of the International Association of Empirical Aesthetics will be held in Dresden, from August 25-28, 2010. It will be organized by the Association of Architectural Aesthetics, the International Association of Architectural Aesthetics and the Department of Architecture at the Technical University of Dresden.
CONGRESS PROGRAM
The congress program will consist of: (1) spoken papers, (2) Sessions (3) Posters and an Art
exhibition. The official language of the congress is English, with a few exceptions for German spoken contributions.
There will be parallel scientific sessions for oral presentations held during each of the four days of the Congress. Invited addresses and Sessions will be scheduled throughout the program. An art exhibition will be open for the duration of the Congress for all registered participants.
Papers
The time allotted for spoken papers will be 20 minutes; 15 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for discussion. Each presentation will have a designated time-slot assigned. The format for paper abstracts is described below.
Special Sessions will consist of a set of integrated spoken papers related to a theme. These will follow the same time schedule as the other sessions. Applications for Special Sessions should be submitted to the organizing committee, along with an abstract for the entire symposium, stating the rationale for the topic,
the aims of the symposium, and the group of speakers proposed. A discussant may be included.
Blind Review Process
Papers are selected through a blind peer review process. The selection process takes into consideration both the merits of the Session Topic proposals, as well as the importance of organizing a diverse set of sessions for the Meeting. Typically, each session will be composed of three or four presentations, with time for discussion.
The committee will maintain a blind-review process for all papers submitted during the entire review process; enlisting three blind reviewers for each of the papers submitted to their Session Topic and recommending final papers for presentation. Each author will be limited to one submission per Session Topic.
Special Sessions
Proposals for session topics related to the conference theme are requested, as are proposals related to the full range of subject areas within aesthetics and its related disciplines.
Session Topic proposals may also cut across traditional categories or address emerging issues. Session Topic proposals may be broad in reach or sharply focused. Each proposal should clearly identify its subject, premise, and scope of the proposed Session Topic.
SOCIAL EVENTS
Participants will be welcomed at an Opening Ceremony and Welcome Reception without charge.
A banquet at the world famous Eckberg Castle overlooking the Elbe River, a visit to Pillnitz Castle and a steamboat cruise on the Elbe River will be held in the evening of August 27. The price for this event is 70 EUROs and is not included in the registration fee. Note that there are only limited numbers of tickets available and we strongly recommend you to reserve your places on the registration form.
