The annual congress has contributed significantly to the fact that engineering asset management has matured into a professional practice. The 10th WCEAM cong- ress slogan “Keep and Grow value” emphasizes that considerations on asset life cycle and economic value are an important part of overall engineering asset management.

WELCOMING WORDS On behalf of the Association for Cultural Studies, I am delighted to welcome you to Tampere and to the 2014 "Crossroads in Cultural Studies" conference. This is the tenth Crossroads conference to date, and we have returned to the site where four of the first five such gatherings were held. One of the main hallmarks of the Crossroads conference has always been its ability to showcase the rich variety of ways that cultural studies is practiced in different national and regional contexts. As such, I encourage of you to take advantage of this unique opportunity to expand your sense of what cultural studies is – and can be. Let me also extend my heartfelt thanks to Conference Director Mikko Lehtonen and his team of conference organizers and program planners. A conference of this size and scope requires a tremendous amount of labor over several years, and I deeply appreciate all the time and energy that our hosts have devoted to making this a successful and enjoyable event for all of us. The next four days promise to be an intellectually rewarding gathering of cultural studies practitioners from across the globe that will enrich us all. Welcome – and enjoy! Gilbert B.

  • The EPHAR Congress
    Proposal to host The EPHAR Congress in July 2012 in Tampere, Finland Conferentially yours - Tampere To the EPHAR Council and Member Societies Invitation to hold the EPHAR Congress in July 2012 in Tampere, Finland Dear Madams, Dear Sirs, Finnish Pharmacological Society has taken the iniative to cordially invite the EPHAR 2012 Congress to Tampere, Finland. Finnish Pharmacological Society was founded in 1948 to promote research, education and training in pharmacology in Finland. Today the Society has over 500 active members. Pharmacological sciences are widely represented in higher education and research in pharmacy and medicine in Finland. Extensive pharmacological research is being carried out in several Finnish universities and research institutes. Strong research areas are neuropharmacology, cardiovascular pharmacology, immunopharmacology and drug metabolism. Finland has a solid reputation for an efficient organisation of scientific congresses and other international events. It is a safe and reliable destination. The special geographical location at the crossroads of East and West makes Finland a conference destination, that is easily accessible for delegates from all over world. I propose Tampere Hall - located in the city of Tampere, Finland’s second largest urban region – as the venue for the EPHAR 2012 Congress. Tampere Hall has every facility to ensure a well-organised congress. This internationally recognised congress centre has thrice been evaluated best congress centre in Finland and is known for its environmentally conscious efforts. One highlight on Tampere Hall’s reference list is the ICT X, World Congress of International Society of Toxicology with 1,500 delegates which was held in Tampere in July 2004. Tampere is located between two large lakes that grace the city with their beauty and provide water-based recreational opportunties.

Then you can relax around a fire in the warmth of a Finnish teepee, have a snowy picnic and listen to live music from the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra. The city boasts a vibrant nightlife with great restaurants, cafés, pubs and breweries to explore. Kajo, a modern yet cosy Finnish restaurant, serves delicious New Nordic-style cuisine, while Finnish and international gourmet food is superb at the cellar restaurant Tiiliholvi – a favourite of Tove Jansson. Exploring Tampere on foot is easy and I loved my city walking tour visiting the indoor and outdoor markets.

  • Impact of Tampere Region Festivals and Cultural Attractions in 2013
    DEVELOPING CULTURAL TOURISM IN THE TAMPERE REGION Impact of Tampere Region Festivals and Cultural Attractions in 2013 Introduction In 2012–2014, Tampere Region Festivals – Pirfest ry and Innolink Research Oy carried out a survey on the regional economic impact of cultural tourism and the quality of tourist attractions in the Tampere region. The survey was carried out as a visitor survey combined with visitor information received from the attractions. It involved 37 member festivals of Pirfest ry/Tampere Region Festivals, 34 cultural and tourist attractions in the Tampere region and 13 hotels. The attractions surveyed were located in 10 different municipalities in the Tampere region. The list of participants is included at the end of this report. The visitor survey was completed by 13,523 people, so it was exceptionally extensive in scope. According to the survey, the festivals and attractions attracted a total of 2.5 million visitors, who contributed €253 million to the local economy. Of this, €139.3 million consisted of tourism income brought by tourists from outside the Tampere region and €113 million was local tourism income from within the region. The Finnish Tourist Board defines cultural tourism as follows: “Cultural tourism produces tourism products and services and offers them on business grounds to locals and people from else- where, respecting regional and local cultural resources. The purpose is to create great experiences and give people the chance to get to know these cultural resources, learn from them or participate in them. This strengthens the formation of people’s identity and their understanding and appreciation of both their own culture and other cultures.” MIKKO KESÄ, RESEARCH & SALES DIRECTOR AT INNOLINK RESEARCH OY, STATES THE FOLLOWING ON THE RELIABILITY OF THE SURVEY: The survey was completed by over 13,000 respondents, so recreational services; other spending).
