Communication activities
This year marks the 35th anniversary of the birth of our network. We will mark this milestone in Paris on 20th June with our Annual Conference, which will focus on financing under these tough macro-economic circumstances.
On June 21st, we will also present a new strategy for 2023–2026 at the General Assembly, which we are co–hosting with L'Union Sociale Pour L'Habitat.
Within the framework of The Affordable Housing Initiative, 2023 will also be the year in which we will focus on the consolidation of all resources to maximise access to information on sources of finance as well as emerging successful social and technical approaches to scale up de-carbonisation.
Our Observatory’s 2023 bi-annual State of Housing Report, now under preparation based on your feedback, will set the scene in Paris, providing a reality check of the impact of inflation and on-going war on our work.
The fourth International Social Housing Festival will bring together the growing number of international social, public, cooperative and community-led housing colleagues on the 7 -9 June in Barcelona.Other activities

Meetings
Meetings
17 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
