Aim of the Bengt Turner Award
The aim of the Bengt Turner Award is to encourage new researchers to write research papers on housing and urban issues linked to the topics of the ENHR Working Groups and to keep alive the memory of Bengt Turner, one of the founders of ENHR and its first chairman from 1988 to 2007.  

The Bengt Turner Award will be a best ENHR annual conference paper award for those colleagues who are eligible.

The 2020 deadline is 31 May 2020 midnight CET.

• a special certificate in a decorative frame

Evaluation
The evaluation criteria roughly amount to whether a paper would be sent out to referees of a scientific journal. The ENHR Coordination Committee determines whether a Bengt Turner Award is handed out.
