ENHR statement on in-person conferences
Face-to-face discussions are hard to duplicate online, and we believe that personal in-person interactions strengthen our network and can lead to important collaborations via better communication, and building stronger relations and trust. Place is central to what we study so we convene in a different European city every year, allowing scholars to engage with the local context of situate its housing in context.
We recognise that conferences have environmental implications and so are taking important steps to reduce our carbon footprint such as promoting sustainable travel and environmentally aware catering.
