The ENHR Conference 2024, organized by the European Network for Housing Research, focuses on addressing urgent housing issues in European countries by emphasizing solutions rather than merely identifying problems. Key themes include examining the current Dutch housing policy, exploring innovative housing initiatives like cooperatives, and understanding the socio-economic factors affecting the housing prospects of young people. In addition to affordability challenges and the energy transition, the conference will delve into industrialized home production as a potential remedy for housing shortages. A significant aspect will be a debate regarding the role of housing researchers, questioning whether they should act as activists or maintain their independence to provide critical insights into the housing system. The event will feature a variety of formats, including plenaries, workshops, and field trips, creating a rich environment for housing researchers and specialists to share knowledge and collaborate on effective housing solutions.
