In the fi eld of engineering/architecture\, the design of buildings and techniques t hat have allowed the conservation of monuments for a long time are conside red. Finally\, risk management deals with the measures that are or will be used to maintain the good condition of buildings.\nThe objectives of the event are: to expand and integrate knowledge that contributes to the conse rvation of cultural and natural heritage\, as well as to promote the best techniques and procedures in the protection of cultural and natural herit age.\nProfessionals and students of engineering and architecture are invit ed to participate in the event\, as well as cultural scholars: archaeolog ists and historians\, scientists and risk managers\, and those interested in world heritage in general.\nThe event will be conducted in English\, w ith simultaneous translation into Spanish.\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wfeo.org/wp-content/uploads/CDRM-Fly er-English-version.jpg CATEGORIES:WFEO event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Paris X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Paris BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20210328T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0200 TZNAME:CEST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
