After its three-year course, the Smart Rehabilitation 3.0 project is coming to an end. During its life time the consortium, consisting of four universites and three organisational partners, collaborated on the definition and requirements for a new professional profile named “Building Rehabilitation Expert”, the creation of four innovative MOOCs as well as two databases providing valuable information for rehabilitation professionals and students, all with the aim of fostering innovative professional skills for the building rehabilitation and restoration sector.

The project’s final conference, “Rehabilitation in Europe. Renovation Wave and NextGenerationUE”, was held on the 27th of October at UPM in Madrid and saw the participation of leading European experts in the field. It provided participants with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge on the possibilities of sustainable rehabilitation, monumental conservation, internationalisation as well as new fields of work in the context of restauration – all with a view to increase safety, comfort, accessibility, sustainability and quality of life provided by the existing building stock. In this context, the conference’s four sessions addressed topics, such as materials for the restauration of traditional architecture, rehabilitation fostering social equity and environmental rehabilitation as well as the presentation of all project results to the audience. Furthermore, in the afternoon, two visits to the Facilities Laboratory at ETSEM and to the rehabilitation site of Salón de Reinos, Prado Museum were organised.

One notable outcome of the discussions was that there is a mismatch between the skills taught in European Universities and the reality of the rehabilitation and restauration sector, which can be mitigated by initiatives, such as the Smart Rehabilitation 3.0 project.
