The renovation of the building stock is today a driver of economic activity and job creation
throughout Europe. Most of European universities have incorporated rehabilitation into their
core subjects, few have integrated it as a basic pillar and the building sector is lacking a
reasonable number of experts in this field. The NextGenerationUE funds are now showing the
difficulties of not having enough “Building Rehabilitation Experts “ in Europe.

The Conference “Rehabilitation in Europe”, with the presence of leading European
experts, is a unique opportunity to learn about the possibilities that rehabilitation offers to
universities, professionals and generically to the sector to open new fields of work and for
internationalization.
