The Netherlands grapples with a persistent housing shortage that has been exacerbated by a growing influx of students every year. A concerning trend that is gaining traction is the increasing amount of Dutch students opting to remain in their family homes due to the financial and availability challenges associated with securing student accommodation.
About the Event
In response to the housing pressures, The Netherlands has implemented measures to curb internationalisation efforts. Recent developments underscore the urgency of addressing housing needs, presenting investors with opportunities. Universities heavily reliant on international students are particularly vulnerable to these effects of the housing crisis, making strategic investment in this sector crucial.

Smart Living Community Awards
This year, we are introducing the Smart Living Community Awards for the first time, recognising collaboration, leadership, and demonstrable ESG impact across the student living ecosystem.
The awards span four categories: Smart Cross-Sector Collaboration, Smart Sustainability Initiatives, Smart Social Impact Initiatives, and Smart Leader of the Year.
How do the community awards work and why should you apply?
What sets these awards apart from others is their live presentation and voting format. Shortlisted nominees will present their initiatives directly to an audience of leading investors and operators from across the European PBSA sector.
Live Presentation & Real-Time Voting: Finalists pitch on stage, with attending investors and operators voting live for the initiatives that demonstrate the strongest sector impact.
Transparent Evaluation: Attendees of the event will have access to detailed information about each shortlisted initiative, ensuring credibility and recognition based on measurable impact.
Sector Visibility: Shortlisted initiatives will be featured in article format on the Smart Student Living webpage and promoted across social media prior to the Summit.
