The 8th
International Symposium on Fiber Reinforced
Polymer Reinforcement for Concrete
Structures,
FRPRCS-8
, will be held at the
Conference and Culture Center of the
University of Patras, Patras, Greece, from
July 16 to 18, 2007. The FRPRCS is a
bi-annual highly prestigious symposium
focusing on the research, development and
application of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)
reinforcement (externally applied or
internal) for concrete and other structures
(such as unreinforced masonry, including
historic buildings). The Symposium will
continue the success of symposia held in
Vancouver (Canada), Ghent (Belgium),
Sapporo
(Japan), Baltimore (USA),
Cambridge (UK),
Singapore and
Kansas City (USA), attracting
engineers and researchers from around the
world.
On behalf of the
Symposium Organizers it is a great pleasure
to invite you, together with accompanying
persons, to join us in Patras for the
FRPRCS-8
Symposium. Patras, the European
Capital of Culture in 2006, is the 3rd
largest Greek city, situated 220 km west of
Athens. It stretches along a bay in the
north part of Peloponnese and is situated
close to a series of islands in the Ionian
sea, near beautiful beaches and mountains
and within short distance to a number of
famous historic places such as Olympia,
Delphi, Mycenae and Epidaurus. The proximity
of the city to these marvelous tourist
attractions will provide you and your
companions the opportunity to have an
enjoyable holiday before or after the
Symposium.
We look forward
to welcoming you to Patras and to the Symposium
in July 2007, and to sharing our hospitality
with you, as we greet old friends and make
new acquaintances.
