Radius proudly hosted the European Federation for Living (EFL) Autumn Conference 2023 in early November. EFL was created to facilitate the shared knowledge of social housing providers - the members - with the cutting-edge thinking of leading universities and the innovative work of private sector companies - our partners. The EFL Network offers access to relevant insights, information and expertise from the European housing sector. Through events, research and projects, EFL ensures its members and associates remain at the forefront of innovative property and community development.
