Summer School

The Vienna International Summer School on New Social Housing is a transdisciplinary, week-long programme in Vienna that brings together early-career scholars, practitioners and activists to critically explore innovative research and policy responses to contemporary social housing challenges, fostering international exchange and collaboration across design, planning, sociology and public policy. The Summer School is carried out as a collaborative event of TU Wien (Research Center for New Social Housing), the University of Vienna (department of Sociology) and the University of Applied Arts (department Social Design – Arts as Urban Innovation). 

Taking up the rich experience of IBA_ResearchLab (the successor of today's summer school format as part of the International Building Exhibition Vienna  (IBA_Wien) taking place from 2018-2022), the Summer School builds on the renowned faculty of the IBA_ResearchLab and is organized by the Research Center for New Social Housing, which was launched in 2022 to continue the international and institutional networking between different disciplinary research fields of housing research and to foster the transdisciplinary cooperation involving actors of Viennese housing production. The Summer School is kindly supported by the Municipal Department 50 – Strategic Projects and International Affairs.
