WORDS OF
WELCOME
On behalf
of the European Brewery Convention it is a pleasure to welcome
you to visit Porto
for the 35th EBC congress.
Our congress will be held
at the Congress Centre Alfândega facilities overlooking the
River Douro, its picturesque backdrop of architectural delights,
port wine houses and barges. The second largest city of Portugal
will be the perfect setting for our technical, technological and
scientific lectures and presentations.
A new
approach which has been suggested by members of the EBC
Executive Committee, and endorsed by the Local Organising
Committee, aims to give institutes and university departments
more of a say in the selection of abstracts. Additionally, some
sessions will be offered not just in dual parallel but in triple
sessions in order to accommodate more high quality papers.
Porto is atmosphere, mediterranean flair, a whiff of the former
Pertuguese global empire, wonderful cuisine and so much more. It
would be my recommendation to visiting delegates to make ample
use of synergy effects to explore this marvellous city, its
seaside and hinterland all during the time of the EBC congress
2015.
With my best wishes for a superb congress,
Dr. Stefan Lustig
COO Brau Holding International GmbH & Co. KGaA
