A personal message from the Conference Chairs

Portugal has been regularly listed as a top tourist destination, ranking high for its food, the weather, and its friendly, easy-going people. Aveiro is located in central Portugal and is a booming city due to tourism and its renowned higher education facility at the University of Aveiro. The University of Aveiro is very entrepreneurial and has hosted and indeed hosts in its incubator some notable start-ups. Being a young university, approaching maturity, it benefits from a unique and award-winning campus. We welcome you to ECIE 2018 and hope you discover what Portugal has to offer, for what we hope will be a memorable experience.
