The ReFinE Network Workshop is a place for researchers and professionals in the real estate industry to meet and exchange ideas. The works presented in this context are alternatively derived from completed academic research, ongoing studies, and topics of high importance for real estate stakeholders and regulatory authorities.

At this new edition of the ReFinE Network Workshop, we will listen to three presentations respectively dedicated to green value in the French residential real estate market, ESG practices of companies in the real estate sector, and the consequences of telecommuting on the office real estate market.
