Martin Lux has been awarded Erhard Busek Prize (2. place) for the study "Efficiency and effectiveness of housing policies in the Central and Eastern Europe countries". The evaluation of the competitors was made by a board established by the Forschungsgesellschaft für Wohnen, Bauen und Planen. The members of the board were: Josef Klemen (chair of the board), Vera Mayer, Helmut Puchebner, Andreas Sommer, Peter Sommer, Walter Tancsits, Wolfgang Amann. The evaluation criteria were as follows: the scientific value, the implications at the national level, the topicality of the theme, the innovative approach, the theoretical approach, the practical use of the results, the quality of the interpretation. The analytical quality of the Martin Lux's study was highly appreciated, especially regarding the broad approach not restricted only on the description and comparison of housing policies in selected Central and Eastern European countries.
