A University Leading in Sustainability and Research
The Estonian University of Life Sciences isn’t just another higher education institution - it’s one of the world’s top universities in agriculture and forestry, currently ranked 93rd globally in these fields. With nearly 3,000 students and over 1,000 employees, EMU stands in the top 1% of the world’s most cited research institutions in plant, animal, and environmental sciences. 🌍 Its mission goes far beyond academia - the university aims to create a more sustainable, efficient, and future-ready environment for its community.
Live, Learn, and Grow Green 🌱
At EMU, sustainability is not just a research topic - it’s a way of living.
“We offer more than a place to stay - we offer a lifestyle. Our student residences at Rohemu Campus are built around the idea of green living, with a focus on sustainability and the environment. From eco-friendly laundry detergents to lush green spaces, we prioritize a greener tomorrow. By joining our community, you'll not only enjoy a vibrant student life but also be part of our mission to nurture a sustainable future. Live with purpose, learn in harmony, and grow in a community that cares about the planet. Living at Rohemu Campus isn’t just about having a place to sleep - it’s about feeling at home in a supportive and inspiring student community.”
This spirit of sustainability and innovation extends beyond daily life - it’s also reflected in how the university manages its facilities and housing.
Technology Supporting Smarter Campus Operations
Managing university campuses can be complex — from dormitories and research buildings to guest housing and administrative facilities.
To tackle this, EMU implemented the Bidrento platform, leveraging its full functionality:
✅ Advanced property and lease management system
✅ Maintenance and service management for real-time issue tracking
✅ A tenant app for smooth communication and payments
✅ A short-term rentals management module for visiting researchers and guests
This digital approach has reduced administrative workload, improved data accuracy, and made facility operations more transparent - aligning with EMU’s long-term sustainability goals.
Voices from the Partnership
“From the first call with the Bidrento team, it was clear that they had everything we needed for our dormitories and campus housing management. Given their strong track record with other campuses, the decision was easy for us. Today, after using Bidrento for 1.5 years, we have one system that brings together invoicing, leases, maintenance, reporting, and communication. It helps us plan better, react faster, and see the bigger picture.”
- Roland Aik Kask, Head of EMU Campus
“Working with campus housing is always special for us,” says Taavo Annus, CEO at Bidrento.
“It’s rewarding to see how technology can simplify everyday life on campus - making operations smoother, improving communication, and giving staff more time to focus on what really matters: the people who live there.”
Partnership Built on Simplicity, Efficiency, and Growth
The collaboration between Bidrento and the Estonian University of Life Sciences Campus shows how modern PropTech solutions can make a real difference in student housing management.
What used to be complex and time-consuming is now simple, automated, and transparent — all in one platform.
Bidrento continues to support universities, PBSA operators, and co-living providers across Europe in building more efficient, sustainable, and human-centered housing management systems.
