In het kader van onze samenwerking met IMarEst wijs ik u graag op de website van de INEC 2016 conferentie die van 26-28 april 2016 wordt gehouden in Bristol, UK.
Wilt u iets presenteren? Weest er snel bij. De call for papers sluit op 23 okt 2015.
theIMarEST’sInternational Naval Engineering Conference and Exhibition (INEC) (www.inec.org.uk) is the foremost professional event in the naval engineer's calendar. The next INEC takes place from 26 – 28 April 2016 in the Passenger Shed at Brunel’s Old Station, Bristol, UK and seeks to build on previous successes and expand its international credentials.
INEC 2016’s overall theme will be ENGINEERING THE TRIPLE A NAVY: ACTIVE, ADAPTIVE, AFFORDABLE. This theme is particularly apposite as national economies strive to emerge from a deep global recession, and pressures on defence expenditure and the need to achieve true value for money are ever present. With financial insecurity there also lies geo-political uncertainty, international terrorism, trafficking, piracy and conflict to which navies from across the world provide presence, assistance and at times direct intervention. Warships and submarines must operate in the littoral and at reach around the globe, remaining active and effective at all times and in all punishing maritime environments. They must be flexible and adaptable to meet emerging crises, asymmetric threats and human disasters whilst retaining interoperability and full scale war fighting capability. Above all they must be cost effective; harnessing technology, innovation and remaining environmentally compliant to project power and influence at best cost to the taxpayer and least cost to the planet.
The INEC theme for 2016 provides a unique and uncompromising forum for professional engineers and technologists from across the world’s navies, defence industries and academic establishments to share the very latest thinking and developments in warship and submarine design and operation. A truly international event, INEC consistently attracts attendees from over 18 countries and with a growing appeal based on an unrivalled track record seeks to expand this global interest. Brunel's Old Station will provide both a historic backdrop and an exceptional networking facility for INEC 2016 that will enable the best minds in naval engineering to challenge and debate the issues of today and tomorrow.
I very much hope that you will submit a synopsis for INEC 2016; please see the criteria set out below and email your synopsis toinec@figsevents.co.uk. We will be in touch again as soon as the new INEC website is launched, in the meantime please bookmark www.inec.org.uk.
