Welcome

We would like to invite you to come for the International Conference on Project Economic Evaluation, in Guimarães, Portugal.

The Conference is being organized by the School of Engineering of University of Minho. It will take place in Guimarães on the 28 to 29 April 2011.

Our main goal is to join together in this event academics and practitioners from a variety of fields with interest on the issue of the economic evaluation of projects. We expect to provide a forum of debate for researchers and practitioners, contributing this way to support the sharing of experiences, to promote cross-knowledge and to strengthen
the academic-industry relationship. This year´s topic of the conference is BAT in Manufacturing Industry. Papers related to this theme or to the general scope of the conference are most welcome.

You will also have the opportunity to visit Guimarães, a magnificent city of medieval origin known for being the cradle of the Portuguese nation. You may then admire the remarkably well preserved Historical Quarter of Guimarães classified by Unesco as World Heritage site since 2001, getting also in contact with the popular traditions and taste the famous gastronomy of the Minho region.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Guimarães in April 2011!
