CONFERENCES
	The CENTER FOR INNOVATION, TECHNOLOGY AND POLICY RESEARCH, IN+, promotes the transfer and diffusion of knowledge through the organization of major international Conferences, which have considerably contributed to diffuse knowledge worldwide, and promote the internacionalization of the portuguese S&T system. Emphasis has been given, since 1982, to the application of laser techniques for fluid flow research, and this has contributed for the organization of a world leading conference in Lisbon every two years. Current activities include also the analysis of socio-economic research topics, namely looking at the role of knowledge for development. This has resulted in the organization of an international serie of annual Conferences around the world. The following are the most significant events being planned:  International Symposia on Applications of Laser Techniques to Fluid Mechanics The Symposia have contributed since 1982 for the presentation of new research on advanced techniques for flow measurement and results of significance to fluid mechanics. It has emphasized the application of laser, and other advanced techniques, to scientific and engineering investigations...   International Conferences on Technology Policy and Innovation Science and technology (S&T) are key global resources for wealth and job creation and for shared prosperity at home and abroad. The impact of S&T on economic development is a result of complex processes involving the interaction of business, academia, and government...   Other Main Events: Research seminar on "Towards a learning society: Innovation and competence building with social cohesion for Europe", Guincho, 28-30 May, 2000 - go to web page Workshop on "Collaborative Design and Learning: competence building for innovation" Hannover, 11 Setember, 2000 - go to web page Rethinking Engineering Education to Foster Design Engineering for Sustainable Development (February 2001) - go to web page Learning by Comparing US and European Experiences on Innovation and Competence Building (Lisboa, June 2001) - go to web page
