Percursos possíveis para a Conservação e Restauro na gestão dos riscos do Património Construído: parcerias público-privadas em projectos de I&D (Projecto STORM)

This text presents a reflection on the roles that conservator-restorers may play within the context of the disaster risk reduction efforts that Europe currently dedicates to Cultural Heritage assets. Besides discussing some aspects related to the contribution of the discipline proper to the disaster risk management of these assets, arguments are made for an increased engagement of the Conservation-Restoration private sector in research and development actions aimed at more integrated decision-making processes in the conservation of cultural property. Within this scope, the role and experience of Nova ConservaA§A£o as one of the twenty partners of the Horizon 2020-funded project STORM are briefly reported.
