29 candidates from 21 countries, selected among 246 applicants around the world, will participate in the final stage of the selection process of the 15 ESR positions which will take place on March 11 and 12, 2021.

Housing in many European countries has become unaffordable for many. In fact, it is now considered to be one of the most important national issues in Europe and its solution is proving very challenging.

Affordability and sustainability of housing have been addressed separately, from various disciplinary perspectives (e.g. architecture and planning, economics, sociology) and realms (e.g. policy-making, sustainable development, urban planning, green building). However, recent research indicate that it is necessary to consider the affordability and the sustainability of housing as complementary and interrelated aspects which need to be addressed with a transdisciplinary approach, by combining academic disciplines and engaging non-academic sectors in a common production of knowledge.

Second application period opened for ESR 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 14.

You can send your application until February 19, 2021, 24:00 CET.

Please check the requirements of the position(s) you are interested in and submit your application before the deadline.
