PUSH – Public Space in European Social Housing is supported by Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA) and conducted by the University of Copenhagen, Denmark; Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Norway; ETH Zürich, Switzerland, and Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Italy, in the framework of the HERA research programme Public Spaces: Culture and Integration in Europe 2019-2022. 

PUSH researchers follow the fundamental principles of research integrity: reliability in ensuring the quality of research; honesty in developing, undertaking, reviewing, reporting, and communicating research in a transparent, fair, full, and unbiased way; respect for colleagues, participants, society, ecosystems, cultural heritage, and the environment; accountability for the research from conception to publication, and for its management and organization. We provide transparency about how to access or use our data and materials. We handle research subjects, be they human, cultural, environmental, or physical, with respect and care, and in accordance with legal and ethical provisions. We have due regard for the health, safety, and welfare of the community, collaborators, and others connected with our research. As researchers, we reflect on our position and responsibilities in sensitive housing contexts that are subject to societal and economic processes; in our investigation of publicness, we are aware of those processes. We strive to represent diverse voices in our case studies, and we support practices of dialogue and co-learning with all actors. Thus, our research aims to contribute to the further sustainable development of the housing estates, and to support the empowerment of local stakeholders, being aware of differences in age, gender, culture, religion, ethnic origin, and social group.
