Viladecans (Barcelona), 9 March 2010

Today’s meeting of our Board of Trustees commemorated the fifth anniversary of the signature event which, in March of 2005, legally constituted our Centre as a non-profit private foundation.

The Board reviewed the main results of the five-year period and discussed a proposal for a new strategic plan for the next five years. The proposal is currently being discussed with the Centre’s main partners and includes a reinforcement of R&D capabilities in navigation, mobility and intelligent systems for harsh environments, as well as more resources to provide services in technology transfer and to host the deltaLAB programme of industry-sponsored research scholars.

The Board unanimously decided to renew the mandates of Fernando de Caralt (BAiE) as Chair, and of Carlos Kinder (GTD) as Vice Chair.

Board and staff members during the March 9th meeting held on CTAE’s premises in Viladecans.
