WELCOME TO OCEANS’15 MTS/IEEE GENOVA

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, we are proud to welcome you to the OCEANS’15 MTS/IEEE GENOVA Conference and Exhibit, the � rst ever of the OCEANS series to be held in Italy!Technological innovation is a key element to the sustainable use of ocean resources, provision of ecosystem services, as well as long term economic growth.Your contribution to the Conference and Exhibit will increase and promote awareness, understanding, advancements, applications and implications of marine technology. The gathering together of scientists, engineers, responsible ocean usersand decision makers, the exchange of knowledge and the opportunitiesof new fruitful collaborations are crucial to meet the Blue Growth Challenge:harness the huge potential of the world-wide oceans for jobs and growthin a sustainable, environmentally conscious, and responsible way. A more emblematic venue could not be found for this OCEANS: Genova, La Superba, situated in the middle of the Italian Riviera, capital of “Regione Liguria”, has a long history of marine and maritime activities, dating back from the medieval times, when, as one of the Maritime Republics, had commercial and military � eets dominatingthe whole Mediterranean Sea. Christopher Columbus, born in Genova, was the � rst great sailor of the age of discoveries, opening up the route to the New World.Today, while rich from its glorious past (Genova has the widest medieval historic center throughout Europe, and its Palaces are part of the UNESCO World Heritage), the town is the capital of the surrounding Liguria region, which hosts many of the most relevant high-tech activities in Italy, important commercial harbors like Imperia, Savona, Genova and La Spezia, civilian and military shipyards, joint industry-research technological Clusters (as the DLTM “Liguria Cluster on Marine Technologies”),the Italian Navy Hydrographic Institute and Centre for Naval Supportand Experimentation (CSSN), international research centers (CMRE),Universities and National Research labs (CNR, ENEA, INGV, IIT).Also look at the atmosphere around you. Find time to stroll around the ancient harbor, with its many recreational and cultural activities; walk along the narrow streets of the old town; enjoy the traditional street food, as well as the modern bars and restaurants; discover Columbus’ home and the many other legendsand jewels of the town. You’ll go back home enriched by this experience,as well as our community will be enriched by the knowledge, expertise and experience you are bringing to OCEANS’15 MTS/IEEE GENOVA.To the sponsor societies, MTS and IEEE OES, which have given their unrelenting support; to our colleagues who have joined us from all around the World;to all our old and new friends who have gathered here, goes our gratitude for making this Conference happen.

USEFUL INFORMATION

CONFERENCE VENUETHE OCEANS’15 MTS/IEEE GENOVA CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD IN: Magazzini del Cotone, Centro Congressi di GenovaCalata Molo Vecchio 15 - 16128 Genova - Italy

TRANSPORTATIONCONFERENCE VENUEMost of the hotels in the town center are at walking distance (10 - 30 minutes max) to the Conference Centre and to most of the touristic attractions in Genova. The social events are also all within walking distance from the Conference Venue. The closest metro station is “San Giorgio”.Special coach transfers from the conference hotel to the Conference Centreand back are available for free to conference participants twice a day. Please check the conference website for more information.

AIRPORTThe airport can be reached with the Volabus (http://www.amt.genova.it/rete_e_orari/volabus_new.asp) bus (6€ price, approx. 30 minutes travel time) or by taxi (+39 010 5966).

CITY TRAVELLINGThe city can be visited using the public transportation which include more than100 buses, a metro line and a railway line which develops along the Genova 42 km width with more than ten train stations.Renting a car is a good option if you plan to travel around in Liguria. However, asthe whole historic center can’t be traveled by car and that � nding parking spaces can be di� cult, we do not recommend renting a car if you only plan to stay in Genova.
