Unlock the potential of historic buildings. Join an international cohort of experts to master the energy transition of our built heritage. The registration is now open till the 18th of April!

As Europe moves toward a carbon-neutral future, the refurbishment of historic buildings presents a unique challenge: how do we achieve modern energy standards without losing cultural identity? The FuturHist Retrofit Academy offers a specialised, two-stage capacity-building programme designed to bridge the gap between heritage conservation and high-performance energy efficiency.

Co-organised by the Sendzimir Foundation and ICOMOS, with the participation of academic and technological partners involved in the Horizon Europe FuturHist project, this programme provides practitioners with the methodologies, tools, and innovative solutions developed within the project.

This programme is specifically tailored for professionals operating within the European Union and associated countries who are looking to specialise in the sensitive retrofit of the historic building stock:

• Architects and Urban Designers
• Civil and Energy Engineers
• Building Sector Specialists (Conservation officers, energy auditors, and project managers)
• Emerging Professionals looking to enter the sustainable heritage sector.

Cost: Free
