> Dear colleagues,
> 
> Probably some of you were, in due time, informed by me on the 
> possibility to seek  Spanish partners for participating in projects 
> to be submitted to the 5th Framework Programme, key action "The city 
> of tomorrow and the cultural heritage". 
> 
> Through the new organization provided by the OCYT (Spanish Office for 
> Science and Technology), each key action has a manager, who upon 
> request, will look for specific partner, assuming you inform 
> on the topic of the project and the required specialisation. 
> 
> Several European projects were already prepared taking advantage of 
> the facilities provided by the OCYT and presented in the first call, 
> 15 June 1999.
> 
> Next October 1999 will be launched a second call for the key action 
> "The city of tomorrow and the cultural heritage" and I ask you to use 
> these facilities in case you intend to present a project and need to 
> complete the European dimension by including Spanish scientists or 
> enterprises. You can contact me, and as manager I will be very 
> happy to help you. However, there is also a direct way, which is 
> to attend an EC conference where a large number of them will be 
> available.
> 
> In fact, next 23-24 September 1999, the DG XII and 
> several Spanish organisations will organize the "3rd European 
> Commission Conference on Research for Protection, Conservation and 
> Enhancement of Cultural Heritage: Opportunities for European 
> Enterprises"  at Santiago de Compostela. A Partner Mediation Event 
> will be organize on Friday, 24 September where you can establish 
> personal contacts with research institutes and enterprises, to 
> create consortia for new projects or attend the SIPAC, an
> International Exposition on Cultural Heritage running in the same 
> building from 22 to 25 September.
> 
> I invite you to attend this conference because:
> 
> 1) You will be infomed by the DG XII director and officers on the 5th 
> Framework Programme, the key action, the role of enterprises, and how 
> to participate in EC RTD actions for the protection , conservation 
> and enhancement of the European Cultural Heritage.
> 
> 2) You can meet colleagues from different European countries and 
> explore the possibilities for your projects and consortia.
> 
> 3) You will enjoy your stay at Santiago, a city included in the 
> UNESCO World Heritage List as architectural and artistic historic 
> ensemble, not only for its cultural but also for its gastronomic 
> interest.
> 
> For further information on the conference you should contact the 
> Organising Secretariat (It is not too late, and believe me a trip to 
> Santiago is worthwhile):
