Bridging Perspectives: A Dialogue Between Private Providers and Students on Housing Needs and Expectations

UIPI is organising an online workshop on 27 January at 10:30 to address the pressing issues of improving affordability, availability, and sustainability, while fostering the dialogue between students and landlords.

“Bridging Perspectives: A Dialogue Between Private Providers and Students on Housing Needs and Expectations” will focus on understanding the challenges and constraints faced by both tenants and landlords, alongside their needs and expectations. By bringing together key stakeholders from the private student accommodation sector and students, the discussion aims to identify common priorities and challenges, and create collaboration strategies to tackle these challenges, enhancing trust and communication between them, through the implementation of the principles of the New European Bauhaus.

This initiative is supported by the EU-funded projects CRAFT and HOME².

The workshop will take place online on 27 January, 10:30-12:00 CET (UCT+01:00).
