ESUCB 2013
European Symposium on Ultrasonic Characterization of Bone Granada, 7-10 May 2013
www.ugr.es/~esucb2013
Local organiser: Guillermo Rus Carlborg ETSICCP, University of Granada grus@ugr.es www.ugr.es/~grus

Welcome The 5th European Symposium on Ultrasonic Characterization of Bone (ESUCB 2013) will be organized at the University of Granada, Spain, within the Nondestructive Evaluation Lab, Dept. of Structural Mechanics. The Symposium is a continuation of four previous meetings, initially organized by the French-German network on ultrasound assessment of bone strength from the tissue to the organ level. The European dimension of this symposium is extended for researchers, students and exhibitors from Asia and America. During the 3-day symposium the cutting edge in ultrasonic assessment will be presented in oral and poster sessions. The meeting addresses the latest advances in basic science (ultrasound propagation models, non linear acoustics, backscattering, numerical simulations, guided waves), instrumentation and signal analysis (acoustic microscopy, transverse and axial transmission, imaging techniques) and applications (small animals, ultrasonic stimulation, osteoporosis and other diseases).

Venue The ESUCB 2013 will be held at the "Facultad de Medicina" building, University of Granada, 10 minutes walking from the city centre.
The conference sessions will be held at the "Salon de Actos", the reception at the entrance of the "Salon de Actos" and the coffee and posters at the corridor right outside that entrance, as shown in the map below:
15
Wifi access Wireless connection is available during the conference at the Venue and all over the University of Granada. To connect, choose the network "cviugr" and insert the following data when prompted: USER: esucb@invitados.ugr.es PASSWORD: BONE2013++ In addition, the "eduroam" service is available inside University of Granada, so if your original institution is adhered to this project and your laptop is configured accordingly, you should automatically connect to this network.
University The University of Granada, founded in 1531, continues a long teaching tradition, the roots of which can be traced back to the madrasahs of the last Nasrid Kingdom. The University is a vibrant presence in the city of Granada, benefiting from the distinctive beauty of its environment and a privileged geographical location due to its proximity to the Sierra Nevada, an excellent ski resort and the Mediterranean coast, with several major tourist sites, including Motril, Almuñécar and Salobreña. In Granada, there are four University Campuses, as well as the “Campus Centro”, in which all the centres spread throughout the historic part of the city are brought together. The UGR's policy of using buildings of historical and cultural value has enriched its heritage, as well as promoting the restoration and maintenance of these buildings. In addition to this emphasis on more traditional elements, the Health Science Technological Park, which is still being developed, demonstrates our strong commitment to innovation by promoting interaction with technological bio-health companies and favouring high-quality healthcare and biomedical knowledge.
Granada The city has been inhabited from the dawn of history. Phoenicians, Carthagenians, Greeks and Roman have lived in this city. In the 8th century, nearly all the Iberian Peninsula was conquered (711-718) by Muslim armies from North Africa. Córdoba, the capital of the caliphate, was the largest, richest and most sophisticated city of medieval Western Europe. However, by the 11th century, the Muslim territories had fractured into rival Taifa kingdoms. With the arrival of the Zirid dynasty in 1013, Granada became an independent emirate Taifa of Granada and then the Kingdom of Granada in 1238. Important monuments from that period have survived until the present time: the Alhambra, the Generalife, the Albayzin, Arab baths.
16
On January 2, 1492, the last Muslim leader, Muhammad XII known as Boabdil to the Spanish, surrendered complete control of Granada to Ferdinand and Isabella, "The Catholic Monarchs", after the city had been besieged. It is one of the most significant events in Granada's history. At the same time Christopher Columbus came to Granada to ask Kings Isabel and Ferdinand for funding to build ships that led to the conquer of the Americas. Subsequent colonization led to the creation of the Spanish Empire, the largest empire in the world for its time. Over the course of the sixteenth century, Granada took on an ever more Christian and Castilian character, as immigrants flocked to the city from other parts of the Iberian Peninsula. Granada is currently inhabited by 300,000 people, who not only enjoys a wealth of heritage and history but a living reality and present with a multitude of cultural and social activities. The University was founded in the early sixteenth century, and the students create a lively, youthful atmosphere. Granada is a multicultural meeting place, a space open to welcoming visitors from all corners of the world.
Architecture There are many important Moorish and Catholic architectural sites in Granada: The Alhambra and Generalife, the Palace of Charles V, Granada Cathedral and Royal Chapel wtih the tombs of Isabella and Ferdinand, the Catholic Monarchs. The Albayzin is the ancient Arab quarter, containing many original houses from the 16th century.
Region The city of Granada in Andalusia in the South of Spain at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains and national park, at an elevation of 700 metres above sea level. Yet it is only one hour from the Mediterrean coast, the Costa Tropical so that it is possible to go skiing and sunbathe on the beach on the same day.
Climate Spring is one of the best times to visit Granada. The average temperature ranges between 15ºC and 30ºC. The climate is sunny and dry, with an average of 4 or 5 days per month of rainfall. Granada Tourism: www.turgranada.es Alhambra: www.alhambra-patronato.es

Getting to Granada
By plane: Airport information Granada is situated in the southernmost region of Spain, Andalusia. It has a modern network of roads and motorways, allowing for easy access. The national airport, Aeropuerto de Granada - Jaén Federico García Lorca is 14 Km from the centre of the town, where the venue of the meeting is located. If you arrive at the Granada airport, the most convenient way to reach to Granada city centre is probably to get a taxi at the airport main entrance. The taxi costs about 28 € from the airport to the city centre. There is also a confortable and frequent airport bus shuttle that takes you to the centre of Granada in about 20-25 min. The ticket costs 3 €. Airports with direct flight to Granada Spain:
Barcelona Madrid Melilla Palma de Mallorca
UK: Liverpool London Stansted Nottingham East Midlands
Germany: Frankfurt, Hahn
Italy: Bologna Milano, Bergamo
By train The train station is located right in the city center. Address: Avda. Andaluces s/n 18014 Granada National Information and reservation: +34 902 24 02 02. International information: +34 902 24 34 02 Train Information: www.renfe.es
