Monthly talk series with Dr. Irina Domurath

Housing as a ‘Double Irritant’ in EU Law: Towards an SGEI between Markets and Local Needs

In her talk, Dr. Domurath (University of Amsterdam) invites discussion on the clash between urban, local housing needs and EU law. The problem is that top-down internal-market-oriented EU law disregards the special needs of local, urban housing sectors. It proposes that regarding housing as a special public services, along the lines of SGEI, could help to reconcile these tensions.

About the monthly EVICT talks

On the third Thursday of every month, we will have a speaker on a topic related to evictions, the right to housing, housing law, the (complex) relation between international law and national law, and/or data science. Each month, we will have a different international speaker (ranging from scholars to practitioners) who will offer fascinating insights into their area of expertise.

For now, the talks will be held online. Each of these talks will begin at 4:00 pm and end at 5:00 pm (Central European Time, UTC+01:00).
