Reading Real Estate Foundation (RREF)

Supporting academic excellence at the School of Real Estate and Planning since 2002.

Central to RREF’s work is attracting excellence to study at the Department of Real Estate & Planning (REP) at Henley Business School, regardless of the background of individual students. This we are able to do thanks to the collective giving of time and money. This investment enables us to offer a powerful and diverse range of support; from benefiting industry with pioneering academic research, to seed funding for innovative ideas, and the provision of a dynamic network for REP alumni and supporters to leverage.
