- **Event Description**: Inviting leaders from across industries to discuss the opportunities and challenges for France's student housing market.About this EventFollowing a series of strategic and successful steps in France, we collaborated with research partners Savills and JLL, alongside PBSA investors, operators and legal advisors, to develop the country’s first National Action Framework for student housing. Contributions from UXCO, Greystar, The Boost Society (KLEY), AXA, EQT, Hines, Gide, Campus France and Study Portals all helped shape a shared evidence base and a practical foundation for a national dialogue to solve the 640,000 unmet demand by 2030.Join us to build on these advances at our Student Living Forum in Paris. This one-day programme includes site tours from the likes of KLEY, workshop sessions, and thought leadership panel conversations, and is set to connect a wide array of key players on housing within higher education -from investors to operators, from universities to policy makers- to shape a common agenda.France stands at the centre of a shifting European higher education landscape. With over 3 million students, including 420,000 international students (up 17% in five years), France now hosts the largest student population in Europe. It ranks 4th in Europe for English-Taught Programmes, and its academic prestige is growing; 55% more universities now rank in the QS Top 600 compared to 2021.Yet despite world-class institutions, France’s student accommodation infrastructure is lagging. Just 15% of students live in designated student communities, while 28% live alone in private rentals, more than double the European average. The strain is particularly acute in Île-de-France, Lyon, Toulouse, and the PACA region (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, including cities like Marseille and Nice) where availability, affordability, and accessibility converge as pressing challenges.France has 200,000 PBSA beds and is set to grow by 30,000 over the next 3 years. However, this expansion will not close the gap. France faces an unmet demand of 640,000 student beds by 2030, one of the highest shortfalls in Europe.Savills’ 2024 PBSA Investment Barometer shows that even if all private operators across Europe expanded by 70%, the provision rate would only rise from 11% to 17%, highlighting the systemic nature of undersupply. However, France is underperforming in private investment penetration. While international players like Greystar and Blackstone are active, the market remains dominated by domestic capital (78%), and regulatory ambiguity around affordability threatens future inflows.Yet, the opportunity is clear. Capital availability is improving, especially for stabilised assets, and according to TCF x Savills European PBSA Investment Barometer 2024 report, France is among the top 5 most targeted European PBSA destinations.Against this backdrop, the support for the National Action Framework (NAF) is crucial for PBSA. The NAF aims to align France’s growing educational ambitions with sustainable, high-quality student housing through four strategic pillars:Availability – expanding the supply of student housingAccessibility – improving affordability and inclusionStudent Experience – enhancing wellbeing, services, and academic successCollaboration – strengthening coordination between public and private stakeholdersThese four pillars will also inform the forum’s programme which includes thought-provoking discussions, interactive sessions, data insights and the sharing of best practices, on topics such as investment, legal and fiscal frameworks, higher education trends, social impact and challenges and solutions for the sector.Be a part of this must-attend forum for PBSA stakeholders shaping the future of student living in France.SPONSORSHIPFor sponsorship enquiries, please reach out to Carolina via carolina@theclassfoundation.com.REFUND POLICYPurchased tickets are strictly non-refundable.
