Trust, legitimacy and a clear mission. AfRER exists to make academic real estate research in Africa possible — and visible.
We believe that African property markets deserve the same depth of scholarly attention as those in Europe, North America or Asia — and that the scholars best placed to deliver it are working in Africa.
Africa’s property markets shape urbanisation, affordable housing and capital flows for nearly a fifth of humanity. Yet peer-reviewed research output remains disproportionately small. Closing that gap is a long game — and it requires patient, independent funding.

Applications are reviewed by an academic committee drawn from IREBS, AfRES and partner institutions, on the basis of academic merit.
Close working relationships with AfRES, IREBS at Universität Regensburg, real estate societies and university departments across Africa, Europe and the United States.
