VENUE
Porto, located on the banks of the river Douro, is one of the oldest cities
in Europe. With a population of about 300.000, it is the country's second
most important city in terms of economic output and cultural influence.
Porto made its name over two centuries ago because of its connection with
the Porto wine industry. It was elected as "Porto 2001: European Capital of
Culture" and recently designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage City, a
fitting recognition not only for its granite sculpted beauty, but also for
the unforgettable panorama of its historic centre with narrow streets and
typical houses arrayed like a cascade right down to the river, and for its
passionate history which determined the country's destiny. The city's
symbols are the "Rabelo" boat, which can still be found docked on the banks
of the river, the baroque Clérigos Tower (built by the Italian architect
Nicolau Nasoni) and the century-old iron bridges, one of them designed by
Gustave Eiffel. Porto is also at the heart of a knowledge and business
intensive region, offering several universities and research institutes,
which stimulate a strong connection with industry, the service sector and IT
enterprises.
