VENUE
The conference will be held in the campus of the Polytechnic Institute
of Setúbal. With five Schools, the Institute has excellent
conditions for holding conferences, including several 100-seat
lecture theatres and one fully equipped 350-seat auditorium.
Setúbal, a city with about 75,000 inhabitants, sits by
the Atlantic Ocean and on the right edge of the Sado River, in
front of Tróia, approximately 50 km to the south of the
Portuguese capital - Lisboa - where the nearest airport is located.
Setúbal offers its visitors an unforgettable environment:
Dauphins and other ocean life, monuments and flaring landscapes
are conjugated with an important industrial implantation. The
visitor can find anything from ancient historical areas, in Palmela,
to pleasurable beaches and modern golf courses, in Troia. It is
also possible to make a break after the conference, in Algarve,
less than two hours away from the conference site by car.
