EMAS 2012 Welcome and Opening Address

摘要

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all here in Padua today on behalf of our EMAS President Clive Walker who, with his apologies for not being here, has sent us his best wishes for a successful meeting. Another one that will undoubtedly be remembered for both, the scientific activity and the cultural value of the experience we are going to share in the next few days.
