The Euro-American Congress REHABEND 2020 on Construction Pathology, Rehabilitation Technology and Heritage Management is going to be carried out in Granada (Spain), in March 2020. The event is organized by twenty organizations of ten European and American countries, and it is co-chaired by the University of Cantabria, through its Building Technology R&D Group (GTED-UC), and the University of Granada.

Construction Pathology, Rehabilitation Technology and Heritage Management currently have great importance for construction sector. This prompted the organizers to propose the technical event on these topics in Granada, which the Alhambra, an Arab citadel and palace, and its gardens have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Alhambra is the most renowned building of the Andalusian Islamic historical legacy with its many cultural attractions that make Granada a popular destination among the tourist cities of Spain. The Almohad influence on architecture is also preserved in the Granada neighborhood called the Albaicín with its fine examples of Moorish and Morisco construction. This event aims to collect the advances obtained in the last two years in the theoretical knowledge and practical realizations carried out on the referred topics. The Congress will meet more than 250 technical contributions coming from professionals, academics and specialists.

Based on previous experiences the Congress is proposed once again in the Euro-American cultural space. The official languages are English, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. Organizers understand that technical articles and oral presentations, with the support of graphic material and schemes, may be understood by the people who take part in the congress, as it was evident in REHABEND 2014, 2016 and 2018.

Under these premises and the successful previous editions, the Congress is sponsored by the Government of Spain, the Government of Andalucia, the Provincial Government of Granada, the Municipality of Granada, the University of Cantabria and the University of Granada. In addition, several Universities, Technical and Professional Associations, Institutes, Foundations and Companies commit their collaboration in order to the success of this initiative.
