C M Y CM MY CY CMY The focus of the 5 th conference organized by the EUROSHNET network will be on the need to create conditions for improving the quality of working life in a rapidly changing world: How can standardization, testing and certification contribute? Which pitfalls should be avoided? With your support and cooperation we shall find ways to complete the jigsaw puzzle of the numerous – and sometimes contradictory – requirements that we must face in the next 10 years. As the Director of INSHT, it will be my great pleasure to welcome you to the beautiful city of Seville to try and meet that challenge.

Its modern design makes it an attractive venue. Seville is the capital city of Andalusia. Located in the South of Spain, it is one of the largest Spanish cities and occupies the valley of the Guadalquivir River. Seville’s rich history has left the city stuffed with innumerable monuments like the awesome cathedral, the third largest in the world, the Giralda tower, the wonderful palace of the Royal Alcázar, the magical Barrio of Santa Cruz with its narrow streets, or the Maestranza bullfighting ring. The city of Seville is famous worldwide for its culture, monuments, traditions, artistic heritage and passion for Flamenco but what it’s essentially famous for is its own living self. The average maximum temperature in October in Seville is 25˚C. Call for posters A poster exhibition will be organized in parallel to the conference.
