Roundtable Educational Buildings - European Parliament
As part of the Renovate Europe's Educational Buildings Campaign, a roundtable discussion was held at the European Parliament in Brussels on 23 June, hosted by MEP Marcos Ros Sempere.
The event brought together educators, students, policymakers, and experts to discuss the future of Europe’s educational buildings.
Participants explored the role of educational infrastructure in achieving Europe’s climate and energy objectives, while highlighting the benefits of deep renovation for learning environments, health, comfort, and energy performance.
During the discussion, the findings of the Renovate Europe Campaign’s NBRP Study, conducted in collaboration with CLIMACT and other partner organisations, were presented alongside inspiring case studies from across the European Union. The conversation was further enriched by contributions from representatives of student and teacher associations, who shared firsthand experiences and perspectives on the priorities for future educational buildings. -

Educational Buildings Campaign
Many schools and universities across Europe are in poor condition – overheating in summer, too cold in winter, and often providing unhealthy and unsafe learning environments for students and teachers. Educational buildings account for 17% of the EU’s non-residential stock, most built between the 1950s and 1980s. Every day, 93.3 million students learn in them. We call on all EU member states to make these buildings the front-runners in achieving a zero-emission building stock by 2050 and to commit to their deep renovation by 2035. -
