The Swiss Habitat Conference is an annual event organised by social scientists, geographers and architects, in a collaboration between EPFL and UNIL. Its core objective is to provide researchers with the opportunity to engage with colleagues convened under the broad umbrella of housing justice here and beyond. The conference welcomes new and transdisciplinary epistemological, theoretical, and methodological approaches to housing and habitat research. Ultimately, it aims to build a plural network of researchers and activists, fostering mutual care, sustained dialogue and the open discussion of ongoing or achieved research projects around housing and habitat.
The first edition took place on 12-13th Feb. 2026 in Lausanne (Switzerland)
Organising committee:
- Pr. Luca Pattaroni (EPFL)
- Pr. Gabriela Debrunner (UNIL)
