About IS2008
On behalf of the Netherlands Chapter of INCOSE, and of the Region 3 Planning Committee of the International Symposium 2008 (IS2008), I invite you to join us for the world's premier Systems Engineering Event that takes place in the Netherlands. The Planning Committee is composed of representatives from all around Europe, plus Israel and South Africa.
The location of the venue is in Utrecht, a historic city in the centre of the Netherlands, only 30 minutes away from Schiphol Int'l airport as well as downtown Amsterdam. This region has thriving high technology industries and is the home to major Universities and a tourist destination known for its internationally-renowned heritage and culture.
Theme: Systems Engineering for the Planet
The symposium theme Systems Engineering for the Planet, addressing the expanding scope of Systems Engineering application and responsibility. Examples of this expanding scope are Safety & Security, Disaster control, Resource efficiency, Infrastructure, Transportation systems, Climate impact, Water Management, Education & Government, Sustainable developments... you name it.
New! Sub-Theme Tracks
A novelty for this event will be a set of 3 Sub-Theme Tracks, focussing on the application of SE in complex consumer and industrial systems, transportation systems and water management & flood control. Each of these STT's will span one day and address the topic via an introduction, several related papers, an on-site visit and a closing panel discussion.

Come and join us to make this a great event!
