HOUSERASMUS+ EASTERN REGIONAL CONFERENCE
Thank you for the interest you show our project.
The HousErasmus+ project aims to map challenges and solutions in student accommodation for international students and trainees. In a series of four regional conferences we aim to gather all relevant stakeholders in the field: students, higher education institutions, housing providers and policy makers. The conference will share our latest research and showcase practices in the region. It also aims to be a platform for discussion regarding potential practices that could be scaled-up or implemented as policies to improve the housing situation for international student and trainees.
Here are all the information you need to know about our conference in Budapest taking place on March 29rd-30th. The Conference venue will be at ELTE university, Egyetem square 1-3. Budapest.
