Invitation
On behalf of the 2nd Technical Section
of the CIGR, we have the pleasure to invite you to
participate at the International Symposium New Trends in
Farm Buildings, to be held from 2 to 6 of May, 2004, in
Evora, Portugal.
Research findings, legislation,
technical solutions and future trends concerning farm
buildings, systems and equipment for animal and plant
production will be shared and discussed. We encourage you to
submit a paper under one of the six topics of the scientific
program.
May is the perfect month to visit
Portugal and the Alentejo region. The weather is mild and
sunny, and the region gives a sensation of freedom, induced
by the wide open spaces, where the strength of its beauty is
surprising, together with the tranquility of the landscape
of wheat-fields, oak plantations, vineyards and olive
trees.
The Evora Region, essentially rural, has an
abundant architectural, historical and archaeological
heritage, showing the human presence in the region through
millennia. The Historic Center of Evora, classified as a
World Heritage Site by the UNESCO, is an example of this
heritage.
The gastronomic offer of this region
is infinite, with a very rich cuisine and excellent wines,
and the friendliness of people specializes them in the art
of receiving, that you certainly will not
forget.
We are sure that you will have a
pleasant stay in our country and will enjoy the social
events, tours and sightseeing, proposed for the event, and
most of all, contacting your
colleagues.
