INTERCHANGE EUROPEAN PROGRAMS Appointment to Vice-President Professor Ferreira Lemos (2008) The Association of European Civil Engineering Faculties

President (until 2006) Professor Alfredo Soeiro INTERCHANGE EUROPEAN PROGRAMS

June 2006 Mission: Identify risks, to understand it is not possible to eliminate them, to know how to change risks into opportunities, ie CERUP intends to invest in their management, perception and knowledge dissemination.

February 2009 Mission: To establish a Railway Knowledge Center to define rational strategies and serve as a platform to reach better economical and political decisions, especially on High Speed Railways.
