INPP Conference 2025

Content

This year’s conference of the International Network of Parliamentary Properties (INPP) took place from 29 September to 2 October in Vienna and Budapest. The first part of the conference was held in the Austrian Parliament from 29 - 30 September, followed by the second part in the Hungarian Parliament from 1 - 2 October.

From the very beginning, the International Network for Parliamentary Properties (INPP) has been an integral part of Austria’s renovation project. The opportunity to exchange ideas and expertise with professionals worldwide has been a key factor in its success. The challenges of renovating historic buildings while supporting democratic processes are shared globally, and through collaboration, the best solutions can be developed. This exchange of knowledge remains invaluable as the focus turns toward the future. The conference provided an important platform to connect, share insights, and learn from one another.
