W E L C O M E T O P O R T O

Dear delegates and colleagues,

On behalf of INEGI - the Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and the organization of this 6th European Aeronautics Science Network conference, it’s a pleasure to welcome you all in Porto and wish you a fruitful and inspiring three-day forum.

Although the Engineering adventure in Porto really began in 1765 with the creation of the Nautical School, it was only 90 years ago that the present Faculty of Engineering of Porto University was formally instituted. Compared to the Faculty of Engineering, INEGI is a young interface institute, created 30 years ago this year, with the mission of transferring knowledge to the industry, on the many areas related to Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Management. INEGI pledged its commitment to the subject of Aeronautics and Space Engineering several years ago, and has been doing research work in the area that has not gone unnoticed, focused mainly on Composite Materials, Experimental Mechanics and Product Development.

Receiving such a prestigious conference in our 30th anniversary is by far the most stimulating activity amongs t those wh ich were p rogrammed fo r the commemorat ions throughout 2016. INEGI therefore invites the delegates to visit us in the Faculty of E n g i n e e r i n g C a m p u s w h e re w e a re l o c a t e d , i n anticipation for innumerous possibilities for new ventures and productive partnerships.

The City of Porto has one of the richest artistic, cultural and historical heritages in Portugal, of which the several monuments and museums all over the city are proof. This was officially recognized by UNESCO, which considered Porto (its historical part) as “World Heritage”. Porto is increas ing ly v is i ted a l l year round, w i th v is i to rs contributing to the liveliness of the Porto scenery. But Porto is also a city where its history can be found in a small street or in a dialogue with its inhabitants, so we invite you to explore it and start a new adventure here.

THE IDEAL CIT Y BREAK For an autumn sun break in a relaxed, artful city that, unlike other supposed capitals of cool , Por to prefers not to show off. With its dramatically hilly location on the Atlantic coast, Portugal's second city – best known as the historic home of por t w ine – has plenty it could shout about, not leas t an unre lent ing ly p r e t t y o l d t o w n w i t h characterful winding streets, t i l ed churches and Wor ld Her i tage protected s ta tus. The Ribeira neighbourhood, with its down-at-heel quayside and authentic street-life vibe, a c t s a s t h e c i t y ' s m a i n magnet. The mighty Douro r iver offers long, peaceful w a l k s t o m i l e s o f s a n d y

b e a c h e s , w h i l e i t s s t e e p banks , do t ted w i th shady parks and panoramic viewing posts, will appeal to the urban rambler. And with dayt ime temperatures still in the sunny 20s, it's warm enough to top up a T-shirt tan. Ticking off the sights in the old town, where buildings date from the middle ages, many of which are decorated with azulejos, typical blue and white tiling. To get your bearings, climb the Torre dos Clérigos, an 18th-century bell tower with 225 steps. Take a tour of the austere Sé Cathedral, where l o n g - s t a n d i n g A n g l o -Por tuguese re la t ions were forged in 1386, when João I of Portugal married Philippa of Lancaster. With a gothic apse and rose window, the

hillside church of St Francis (igreja de São Francisco) also w o r t h s y o u r t i m e . M o r e secular delights include the vibrant Bolhão market, and the São Bento train station, whose vestibule is decorated w i t h 20 ,000 pa in ted t i l e s d e p i c t i n g s c e n e s f r o m Portuguese history.

SOCIAL EVENTS A Welcome Recept ion wi l l take place at the Conference venue (Crowne Plaza Hotel Porto) on the first day of the gathering. This is an informal evening open to all delegates a t no ex t ra cos t . Fu r the r events, tours and educational visits will be announced soon.
