Partnership with the Real Estate Management Institute (REMI) at the European Business School

In 2006, Aareal Bank AG endowed a professorship for the Real Estate Management Institute (REMI) at the European Business School (EBS).

Cooperation between universities and businesses offers manifold opportunities for collaboration. Close contact with businesses gives EBS students an optimal balance between theory and practice. This intensive exchange is what makes EBS so special. Furthermore, this partnership facilitates research activities with a practical application, the identification of relevant issues and access to the requisite sources of information.

Dr. Wolf Schumacher, CEO of Aareal Bank AG, stated the following with regard to the rationale for the collaboration: 

Two very strong partners who are ideally matched have found each other here: in terms of their aspiration of being innovative in their respective fields and in terms of their international orientation. In our view, REMI is a valuable interface to the latest research related to real estate management.  We benefit from this as a bank and the whole industry benefits as well.

 Prof. Dr. Nico Rottke, REMI director, emphasizes that:

Education thrives from innovation and innovation stems from excellent research.

He went on to say that it was the duty of REMI to offer unrivalled undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the field of real estate management whilst simultaneously furthering research.

Real Estate Management Institute (REMI) of European Business School (EBS) and Aareal Bank AG annually present the "Aareal Award of Excellence in Real Estate Research" to reward superior endeavour in the field of real estate economics.

This English-language compendium edited by Prof. Dr. Nico Rottke illuminates the most important fields of the real estate capital markets and lucidly explains the connections between real estate and capital markets as well as the products and special features of the real estate capital markets. Practical examples and a comprehensive glossary round off this handbook.
