In November 2024, ESPI2R will host its biannual International Conference on Real Estate in Paris, serving as a premier platform for discussions and insights on the evolving real estate landscape at various levels from global to local. This call for thematic sessions, abstracts, and full papers invites submissions on a wide range of topics.

Paris, 26th-28 th November, 2024

Argument

The ESPI International Real Estate Conference (ESPI-IREC) is a bi-annual event run by ESPI2R. The 2024 event will be hosted by Swiss Life Asset Managers, in the core of Paris at rue Saint Honoré, almost at the Louvre's doors. The conference has grown into a premier platform for real estate researchers and experts from various disciplines such as - law, economics, management, finance, urban planning, architecture, and sociology - to engage in dialogue and to intertwine insights. Its primary aspiration is to nurture discussions on real estate transformations and mutations at all scales - global, regional, national and local - with a specific focus on the socio-territorial dynamics of housing and commerce premises, real estate markets and investors, and on issues revolving around property assets: its administration, management and use. Plenary lectures and numerous breakout sessions are to take place over two days, along with tours at emblematic real estate projects in the Paris area on the 3rd day. See below and the attached file to find out more about the elected thematic sessions and their call for papers.
