The European aeronautical project VIVACE is preparing its 3rd and last public technical Forum. It will be held on 17th to 19th October 2007 at the Diagora conference centre at Labège, on the southeastern outskirts of Toulouse (France). It will comprise plenary sessions interspersed with short parallel sessions.

It will be constructed around the full set of capabilities developed during the project (the "VIVACE toolbox") and will show how these are being and can be exploited both within the European Aeronautical and Space Industry and the transport vehicle sector in general.

On the first day, senior management sessions will focus on capabilities that contribute to the project's business savings objectives. Further plenary sessions on days 2 and 3 will cover all the capabilities developed with the parallel sessions explaining these in more technical detail. There will be a 3rd tier supplier session on the morning of day 3.

In addition there will be stands operating throughout the event where the project workpackages and some project partners will display and discuss their detailed VIVACE results and provide ad hoc demonstrations.
