CTAE's 4th YEAR CONSTITUTION ANNIVERSARY

An event which took place past Thursday 25th of September, 2008, at CTAE's premises in Viladecans, was a real success: we would like to thank all attendees and participants for their company and contribution.

Time runs fast and almost without realizing, there have already been 4 years since the Constitution Protocol to establish a new Technology Centre devoted to Aeronautics and Space in Catalonia, being part of the Technology Centres Network of the Government of Catalonia.

To commemorate such an event, CTAE invited the actors to whom the Centre has established collaboration throughout the years, to a series of conferences aimed at giving an overall picture of the achievements of the Centre during these first years of activity.

Please, do not hesitate to have a look at the Programme of the event available in the following link: CTAE 4th Constitution Anniversary Programme.

We have pleasure in enclosing a link which gives you access to all the documents and articles available on that day.
