Today we participated in the first stage of the CDP-MUR Territorial Roadshow organized at the headquarters of CDP (Cassa Depositi e Presitti) in Rome.

The event, promoted by CDP in collaboration with the Ministry of University and Research (MUR), will be divided into different stages on the territory to facilitate the achievement of the goal of 60 thousand new beds set by the PNRR, illustrating to all potential stakeholders, public and private, the investment opportunities and the new development models represented by Student Housing in Italy.

The meeting, moderated by Marco Battaglia — Head of Communication, Identity and Contents of the Deposits and Loans Fund — was attended by Anna Maria Bernini, Minister of the University and Researchand Alessio Pontillo, Director of the Ministry of University and Research. In particular, in their interventionsthe need to activate collaborations with qualified stakeholders has emerged to increase, by June 2026 as required by the announcement referred to in Ministerial Decree no. 481 of 26-02-2024, the availability of beds for university students enrolled at universities and AFAM in the territory. Also interesting are the speeches of the Extraordinary Commissioner for University Housing, Manuela Manenti, and for Cassa Depositi e Presitti the President, Giovanni Gorno Tempini, and the CEO, Dario Scannapieco. The meeting was also attended by numerous representatives of local institutions, universities, bodies for the right to study, associations and entrepreneurship.

The first stage of this Roadshow represented a useful moment to deepen the characteristics of the innovative call referred to in Ministerial Decree no. 481 of 26-02-2024, financed with PNRR funds of the MUR of 1.2 billion. University housing represents a valuable investment opportunity and is central to guaranteeing the right to study and accessibility to higher education. The current reform intends to encourage the construction, by public and private entities, of university residences, providing for the coverage of part of the management costs for the first three years of putting the structures themselves into operation.

This ambitious project not only responds to the growing housing needs of students, but also aims to promote an inclusive education system accessible to everyone through the creation of new housing, aimed at meeting the needs of university students. Thanks to the coordination of the Extraordinary Commissionerand the close collaboration with theMinistry of University and Research (MUR), concrete initiatives are being implemented to achieve these objectives.

We thank our contacts, Helios Marchelli (HOMA Real Estate Development Manager) and Mario Nobile (Legal Manager of the Cooperative), for their valuable participation. They brought the experience of HOMA Coop and presented to other stakeholders the projects we are working on to seize this important opportunity and be active protagonists in the creation of new beds, also through PNRR funding.

The meeting was an important opportunity for networking and collaboration with other stakeholders in the Student Housing sector in different capacities, paving the way for future synergies and shared projects. We can't wait to participate in the next stages of the Roadshow, with the knowledge that together we can, on the one hand, support those who want to invest in the sector as a qualified and reliable partner, and on the other hand, we can contribute significantly to the improvement of housing conditions for university students in Italy.

For months we have already been active and engaged in the search for partners among the main players in the real estate sector, investment funds and managers of large assets.
