GREPAC
The Risk and Emergency Management Research Group of the Complutense University of Madrid is made up of researchers and collaborators from several Spanish universities. In recent years, risk and emergency management has become an interdisciplinary area in which skills, knowledge, methods and perspectives from different disciplines converge to understand and solve complex problems. The members of this research group have extensive experience in the study of risks and emergencies from the point of view of cultural heritage. In addition, the team has extensive experience and expertise in the implementation of emergency plans for collections in cultural institutions. In recent years, researchers from the group have been involved in the implementation of emergency protection plans for collections in such prestigious institutions as the Prado Museum, the Reina Sofía National Museum and the Congress of Deputies. Currently, the members of the team are broadening the scope of their research activity towards a systemic and strategic approach that integrates uncertainty and addresses risk management and disaster risk reduction from a holistic approach that allows for integrated solutions to create more resilient socio-cultural ecosystems.

Faculty of Fine Arts of the Complutense University of Madrid
The Faculty of Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid is today a leading academic centre in Spain and in the international arena.
The studies taught at the Faculty date back to 1752. It was then that the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando was created.
In 1978, the process of transforming their studies into university studies began, and in 1979 they were fully integrated into the Complutense University.
In 2009, within the framework of the reform of all the university institutions of the European Higher Education Area, the Bologna plan was adopted, transforming its Bachelor of Fine Arts studies into Bachelor's and Master's degrees. It currently offers three Bachelor's Degrees: Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts, Bachelor's Degree in Design and Bachelor's Degree in Conservation-Restoration, 5 Master's Degrees: Master's Degree in Research, Art and Creation, Master's Degree in Cultural Heritage Conservation, Master's Degree in Design, Master's Degree in Contemporary Sculpture, Master's Degree in Artistic Education in Social and Cultural Institutions and a PhD programme in Fine Arts.
