European Network for Housing Research

Working Groups and Conferences

Working groups exist to perform extensive research on specific topics related to housing issues, such as [Page 142]homelessness, rural housing, housing finance, or housing for elderly adults. Members of working groups generally come from a variety of locations throughout Europe and represent a wide range of disciplines. Working groups either schedule meetings on a regular basis or simply meet at conferences. The ENHR sponsors periodic conferences, each with a specific theme such as “Methodologies in Housing Research” or “Housing: Regeneration and Growth.”

Enhr Membership and Member Benefits

ENHR offers two types of membership: individual and institutional. An individual membership allows one to work closely with other researchers in a working group, be directly involved in the ENHR's international conferences where researchers present the latest information on housing and urban issues, receive the ENHR newsletter four times a year, participate in the election of members to the Coordination Committee, and place a vote in the General Assembly held every two years.

An institutional membership allows a member organization to publish news about its activities in the ENHR newsletter, come in contact with research institutions and other organizations in Europe, start and facilitate cooperative projects, and have access to the addresses of the every organization with an ENHR membership to make publicizing conferences and other research events easier and more efficient.

Applications for both individual and institutional memberships, along with contact information, are available for download on the ENHR website at http://www.enhr.ibf.uu.se.
