01. WELCOME

The RILEM Spring Convention (RILEM‐SC) is a recent RILEM initiative that occurs every year, during the spring. The third RILEM Spring Convention and Conference, RSCC2020, will be organized by the University of Minho, in Guimarães, between the 9th and the 14th of March 2020. The same event will combine the RILEM standing committee meetings (TAC, DAC, DEV, Bureau), several RILEM technical committee meetings (TC), a PhD Workshop, a Plenary RILEM Workshop, a Conference and Advanced Short Courses. RSCC2020 will be an ideal opportunity to network and meet with partner organizations, as well as to take advantage of a high quality technical programme and appreciate the cultural and emotional atmosphere provided by the social events.

Considering that this event has ‘Spring’ in its name, the Organizing Committee is this time particularly committed to bring a novel and fresh organizational structure for attracting proactive and enthusiastic younger researchers and practitioners for the technical and scientific initiatives of RILEM. The programme is oriented to ‘renovation’ and ‘youth’, as well as to the enriching intergenerational networking and exchange of experiences.

The theme is closely related to the most critical challenges that humanity currently faces, which relate to RILEM activity. “Ambitioning a sustainable future for built environment: comprehensive strategies for unprecedented challenges”. Under this theme, four main topics are proposed:

Topic 1: Strategies for a resilient built environment

Topic 2: New materials and structures for ultra-durability

Topic 3: Service life extension of existing structures

Topic 4: Shift to a circular economy

We look forward to welcome you at the Convention venue, located in the city centre of Guimaraes, one of Portugal’s UNESCO World Heritage cities, the Vila Flor Cultural Centre (CCVF) which is a true mark of excellence in a place where culture is lived out fully!

Hope to see you in Guimarães, in March 2020!

03. GUIMARÃES AND NORTH OF PORTUGAL

THE HISTORY Guimarães, city of medieval origin, has its roots in remote century X. It was at this time that the Countess Mumadona Dias, widow of Hermenegildo Mendes built a monastery, which has become a centre of attraction and gave rise to the establishment of a population group. Parallel and defence cluster, Mumadona built a castle within walking distance on the hill, creating a second anchor point. Connecting the two nuclei formed the Santa Maria Street.

Later the monastery became a chapter house and acquired great importance due to the privileges and donations that kings and nobles were giving him.

It became a famous centre for pilgrimage, and everywhere flocked believers with prayers and promises. The village continued to grow and organizing, and then surrounded by a defensive wall. However the mendicant orders are installed in Guimarães and help shaping the city.

Subsequently, the two poles merge into a single, after the fifteenth century the city walls had been established. There is also be the construction of some churches, monasteries and palaces, the formation of the Misericordia Square (now Largo João Franco) in the late seventeenth century and early eighteenth centuries, but its structure not be significantly altered.

It is from the late nineteenth century, with the new urban ideas on public health that the village, a city in 1853 by Queen Maria II, undergoes major changes: the Broad do Carmo (now Largo Martins Sarmento) and Countess of Juncal were built, streets and avenues were opened and then as well as the Colina da Foundation and the Alameda. However, almost everything was done in a controlled way, thus allowing the conservation of its magnificent Historic Centre.

GUIMARÃES AND SURROUNDING AREAS The province of Minho, in the Northwest of Portugal, is full of scenic and historical sites, being particularly famous for the production of wine. To the North of the region, you will find the National Park of Peneda-Gerês with its rock-mountains, cascades, lakes and abundant wildlife.

To the East, you have the famous Douro river valley, where the Port wine grapes are grown. To the South, you will find the city of Porto, with its international airport, featuring an impressive architecture in the banks of the Douro River, the famous bridges and the Port wine cellars.

The city is famous for its architectural heritage, including worthwhile visits to: the historical centre, where its unique atmosphere of narrow streets and squares provides a meaning to the cultural heritage, which is the everyday reality for the local population; the palace of the House of Bragança, with its rare roofs and 39 large brick chimneys, that once was one of the most sumptuous residences in the Iberian Peninsula; the medieval castle, where the Portuguese history began; the Monastery of Santa Maria da Costa and the Penha Sanctuary, with a beautiful landscape.

The Guimarães municipality, with an area of 241 km2, is located in Braga district in Northern Portugal. Elevated to the category of city in 1853, it is divided in 20 parishes with a total population of 158.000 inhabitants. The population of Guimarães is one of the youngest in Europe. One of Portugal’s most important historical cities, Guimarães is considered the “Cradle of Portuguese nationality”, where the country was founded in the 9th century by King D. Afonso I (1109-1185), Portugal’s first ruler. The value of the historic heritage of Guimarães has been potentiated over the years. The conference facilities in Guimarães are excellent and private accommodation for the participants can be found in the city, at very reasonable prices. Participants can easily walk from the conference venue to the city centre and hotels.


TRAVELLING TO GUIMARÃES The nearest airport to Guimarães is the Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport in Porto, which is about 50 km from Guimarães - around 30 min by car or 50 min by bus.

The Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport operates with 73 destinations and 20 airlines, fly directly to Porto, like TAP Portugal, Lufthansa, Iberia, Air France, Transavia, Air Berlin, Luxair, as well as the ever-growing low cost airlines, such as Ryanair and Easyjet. The Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport was awarded the Best European Airport, by Airports Council International (ACI).

A direct shuttle bus (www.getbus.eu) can conveniently be taken from the arrivals terminal to Guimarães. A one-way ride is 8,00€, the round trip 14,00€ and can be booked online.

MAP OF THE CITY AND POINTS OF INTEREST The conference venue is located close to the historic centre of Guimarães, which will be held both in the University of Minho and Vila Flor Cultural Centre. The social event (RILEM Welcome Reception) is located at a walking distance of 10-15 minutes from the historic center.
