We are honoured to invite you to attend the 12th International Conference on Building Materials and Components that we will be hosting from 12th to 15th April 2011 in Porto, Portugal.
This International Conference is the 12th Meeting of the well-known and prestigious DBMC Conferences that take place every 3 years. Its scope is to bring together those concerned about durability of building materials and components and thus provide a forum for discussion of the most recent research and practice in this domain.
Established since the 12th Century, Portugal is one of the oldest countries in Europe. Its climate is mild with both Atlantic and Mediterranean characteristics. The historic city of Porto is located in the North of Portugal and was classified as World Heritage by UNESCO in 1996. It has good accessibility with an International Airport just a few kilometres away from the centre.
