Conference Postponed
On March 15, the Government of the Republic of Cyprus, following the actions of governments from all around the world, implemented measures to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus that severely limit most activities. Taking into consideration the uncertainty of the current situation, the local status and rules in Cyprus, the international situation, and the advice by the World Health Organization, the Local Organizing Committee has decided to move the ENHR2020 conference to a different date, in the early fall.
The new conference dates will be the 28th of September to the 1st of October, 2020 at the Landmark Hotel in Nicosia. Since we are aware that making travel arrangements is difficult right now, we took the following decisions:
*The deadline for abstract submission is extended to May 29th, 2020.
*The early registration deadline, due to the exceptional circumstances, is pushed until August 17th, 2020.
We are confident that these decisions will contribute to everyone’s safety and that will allow us to enjoy the conference program during the fall 2020. The submission system and the conference website will also be updated. Please keep checking the conference website, http://cyprusconferences.org/enhr2021/, for further conference developments. In case of any queries, please do not hesitate to send them to info@easyconferences.eu.
The main concern of the Local Organizing Committee and ENHR is the health and safety of all conference participants, their families/communities and the limitation of the spreading of this new disease. Thus, we will continue monitoring the situation and will act along the guidelines of the World Health Organization and the Cyprus Health Authorities.
We would like to thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to having you with us in Cyprus later this year.
The Local Organizing Committee
Welcome
Having as a starting point the complexity of factors that have shaped Nicosia through time, the conference seeks to understand conditions of the unsettled and the respective challenges posed to housing. Contemporary everyday life is characterized by diverse manifestations of instability (urban conflicts and contestations, revolutions in political life, terrorism, internal displacements and mobility, migration, global forces vs local socio-spatial realities) which continuously challenge and redefine cities’ infrastructures. The experience of urban life in such contexts—transient, fragmented, changeable and unpredictable— contrasts to concepts of dwelling based on stability, permanence, locality and a sense of belonging. Unsettling practices (whether they involve displacement through war conflicts, market-led gentrification or local communities’ initiatives) simultaneously challenge the production of housing environments and dwellings which many times takes place against a backdrop painted by uncertainty and change.
The proposed umbrella topic aims to explore and understand uncertainties and instabilities which shape contemporary urban living, to unveil critical concerns on the impact of such unsettling practices on the production of housing environments and to foster an inquiry into potential responses in the form of policies, governance, social innovation, community initiatives and planners’ investments.

ABOUT ENHR
The European Network for Housing Research (ENHR) was established in 1988 to provide an organizational platform for institutions and individuals in (and outside) Europe, who are actively engaged in housing research. The network now has about 700 members representing almost every country in Europe and a fair number of non-European countries.
Professor of Housing Systems Peter Boelhouwer (Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands) is Chair of ENHR. He will welcome you all during the opening ceremony of the conference. The ENHR Secretariat is located at Delft University of Technology.
ENHR is where housing specialists from North and South, East and West should feel they are not in an isolated position but part of a housing research network that can bring their research efforts on a higher level.
ENHR is the platform for young as well as experienced housing researchers and housing sector specialists to meet and discuss research approaches and outcome, compare housing policies in European countries, join forces in finding research funding and publication options in magazines and books. For this, about twenty-five Working Groups, ranging from Collaborative Housing to Welfare policy are active.
The New Housing Researchers Colloquium, taking place during ENHR conferences, offers PhDs their own platform and network opportunities. The conference in Nicosia will once again provide an opportunity for young researchers to present and discuss their work with their counterparts, exchange ideas and experiences and receive valuable feedback from ENHR mentors.
As a member, you enjoy a discount for ENHR conferences as well as a substantial discount for the annual conference of the Urban Affairs Association (UAA) based in the United States.
