UIPI is organising an online workshop to address the pressing issues of improving affordability, availability, and sustainability while fostering the dialogue between students and landlords.
This event 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. This will enhance 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.
