ALTEC Conference 2013



The purpose of organizing a well-renowned, bi-annual ALTEC Conference in Portugal is to contribute to the reinforcement of the research objectives and diffusion of knowledge in the field of management of technology in the Latin Ibero-American region, but also to explore its impact on Portuguese communities in Europe and Africa. This Conference also seeks to strengthen international cooperation and networking within the Latin Ibero-American region with a positive impact on internationalization on a global scale. The specific objectives of 2013 ALTEC Conference are as follows:

• To reflect and discuss the relatively novel tendencies in the policy and management of science, technology and industry, with a focused emphasis on strategic impingements for socioeconomic development, including oil, gas and other natural resources, aeronautics and aerospace engineering, automotive, agricultural and livestock-related industries, traditional industrial manufacturing (for example, footwear, textile industry) among others.
  
  
• To promote cooperation networks and links between institutions and individuals, and to discuss different business strategies, training policies and ways of managing science, technology and innovation, emphasizing international perspectives focused on the potential of cities and regions of Latin America and Africa.
  
  
• To encourage new forms of international cooperation in science and technology oriented towards economic and social development in Latin America, but also in Africa.
  
  
• To encourage new forms of industrialization, deepening the knowledge about the risks of de-industrialization and framing new scientific and technological perspectives in a way to attract, qualify and enable mobility of human resources.
  
  
• To highlight the role of science and technology in relation to higher education, encouraging projects and strategies for advanced training, transfer and dissemination of knowledge to foster progress in the Latin Ibero-American regions in a manner that suits the emerging challenges in increasingly globally integrated societies and economies.
  
  
• To discuss and reflect on the latest trends on the governance of emerging risks, highlighting the role of policy, science, technology and industry management for the development of socio-economic resilience and systematic progress of our societies.
