PROHITECH 2020 4th International Conference on Protection of Historical Constructions

[Message from the Organizing Committee:

Dear PROHITECH 2020 participants,

With regard to the COVID-19 virus epidemic, and the uncertainty that is likely to persist globally for the following months, the Organizing Committee decided that it would be best to postpone the PROHITECH 2020 Conference by one year.

The Conference will be held on 5-7 July 2021 at the same venue in Athens.

The registration fee payments as well as the submitted contributions are automatically transferred to the new dates and no action is required from your side.

For other organizational matters, eg. postponement of the important dates, as well as the publication of the proceedings in Springer, new announcement will follow.

You may contact the Conference Secretariat at info@prohitech2020.org for any query you may have.

We hope that you and your families are fine and we look forward to seeing you in Athens in July 2021 in much healthier conditions.

Be careful and stay safe.
Best regards,
The PROHITECH 2020 Organizing Committee

The fourth edition of the International Conference on Protection of Historical Constructions (PROHITECH 2020) will take place in Athens, Greece on 5-7 July 2021.]

The previous meetings of PROHITECH were held in Rome, Italy (2009), in Antalya, Turkey (2014) and in Lisbon, Portugal (2017).

The PROHITECH Conference series offers an important platform to researchers, engineers, architects and other specialists to present and discuss a wide variety of topics related to the protection of historical constructions. The topics range from structural and earthquake engineering, intervention strategies, materials and technologies, architecture and urban planning, represented by a showcase of diversified case studies covering different construction materials. A novel set of subtopics will also be addressed, such as sustainability, energy efficiency, re-use and adaptation to climate changes.

Sessions related to specific topics of the Conference will be introduced by Keynote Lectures which will be complemented by contributed papers and Technical visits.
