About Us
The European Real Estate Society (ERES) was established in 1994 to create a structured and permanent international network between real estate academics and professionals across Europe. The Society is dedicated to promoting and advancing the field of real estate research. Incorporating many national property research societies, academic researchers and real estate practitioners, ERES provides a forum for information flow and debate on research issues. The ERES Annual Conference is the leading real estate research meeting in Europe, usually attracting more than 250 delegates. Beyond this, ERES organizes Industry Seminars and Education Seminars on a regular basis. The Journal of European Real Estate Research is published in partnership with ERES.
The ERES organization is managed by an all-volunteer team. The Society is a non-profit organization affiliated with regional sister societies of the International Real Estate Society (IRES) network, which represents all continents throughout the world.
