The 7th International Conference on Coastal and Port Engineering in Developing Countries (COPEDEC) will be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates from 24th to 28th February 2008. Given the ambitious pace of development projects in the region, and most particularly in the Gulf, this conference is highly significant as it is aimed at bringing together international scientists, engineers and coastal managers to discuss the latest achievements and developments of relevance to coastal and port engineering in the developing countries. The meeting will also enable developing countries to have a sustainable human resource pool of coastal and port development and marine environment professionals
The event, which will attract nearly 1000 professionals, is organised by Dubai Municipality in cooperation with the Brussels-based International Navigation Association (PIANC), which is a non-profit organisation that merged with COPEDEC to promote the maintenance and operation of inland and maritime navigation.
I hope the upcoming conference would be a major boost to international coastal and port engineers as well as scientists and it will provide them an opportunity to showcase coastal projects in their countries and build capacity in countries in transition in this important field of engineering.
We look forward to your participation in this important conference in the dynamic city of Dubai.
Hussain Lootah
Acting Director General
