Cluster Sustainable Real Estate (CSRE)

Part-time Continuing Education Program "Sustainable Real Estate"

Annual Knowledge Update in the Certificate Program

For the implementation of climate-resilient, resource-efficient project and real estate development, there is a great need for expertise across the entire real estate value chain. The Cluster Sustainable Real Estate (CSRE) offers this update in collaboration with the TUM Institute for LifeLong Learning (IL³) through a part-time certificate program. The two certificates "Value Creation as a Dialogical Process" and "Transformation to Sustainable Real Estate" methodically and integrally address sustainability criteria and provide students with new knowledge from interdisciplinary perspectives of project, user, and corporate viewpoints, construction technology, digitization, and stakeholder analysis.

The certificate programs are aimed at decision-makers and players in the real estate industry, covering the entire value chain of construction, development, management, and real estate advisory, who will be optimally qualified for the complex tasks in the field of sustainable real estate through the new certificate program.

Participants receive interdisciplinary knowledge based on the latest research and practice, can network and expand their connections, and learn strategies for implementing sustainable real estate projects.
