The Vienna International Summer School on New Social Housing is coordinated by a Curatorial Team responsible for proposing the thematic focus, designing the programme and selecting the participants.
A Faculty consisting of internationally renowned scholars in diverse fields and disciplines is nominated. The members of the Faculty commit themselves to commenting on the submitted thesis projects as well as to active participation in the organisation – by holding a talk or participating in a round table. The faculty members hold expertise in all relevant fields of housing research (urban development and regeneration, community organising, architecture and housing construction, land policy and land management, spatial planning, sociology, real estate and project development, etc.).
Local Experts support the Summer School in its effort to connect the international discourse with Vienna and its urban specifics by organizing a workshop, giving short inputs, conceptualizing walks and/or by carrying out fieldwork.
