ICTH 2019 will be held in the city of Coimbra. Coimbra is a historical city
and a municipality in Portugal. Among the many archaeological structures
dating back to the Roman era, when Coimbra was the settlement of Aeminium,
are its well-preserved aqueduct and cryptoporticus. Similarly, buildings
from the period when Coimbra was the capital of Portugal (from 1131 to
1255) still remain. During the late Middle Ages, with its decline as the
political centre of the Kingdom of Portugal, Coimbra began to evolve into a
major cultural centre. This was in large part helped by the establishment
of the University of Coimbra in 1290, the oldest academic institution in
the Portuguese-speaking world. Apart from attracting many European and
international students, the university is visited by many tourists for its
monuments and history. Its historical buildings were classified as a World
Heritage site by UNESCO in 2013: "Coimbra offers an outstanding example of
an integrated university city with a specific urban typology as well as its
own ceremonial and cultural traditions that have been kept alive through
the ages." Its atmospheric, beautiful historic core cascades down a
hillside in a lovely setting on the east bank of the Rio Mondego: it's a
multicoloured collage of buildings spanning nearly a millennium.

The conference take place in the environment of technology startups and
laboratories within the installations of Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN). IPN
is created in 1991 through a University of Coimbra initiative, Instituto
Pedro Nunes (IPN)2 is a private non-profit organization which promotes
innovation and the transfer of technology, establishing the connection
between the scientific and technological environment and the production
sector. IPN mission is to leverage a strong university - enterprise
relationship for the promotion of innovation, rigor, quality and
entrepreneurship in private and public sector organizations by acting in
three complementary areas: Research and technological development,
consultancy and specialized services; Incubation and acceleration of
businesses and ideas; Highly specialized training and promotion of science
and technology. In the year of 2010, the Instituto Pedro Nunes incubator3
has been awarded as the Best Science-based Incubator in the world.
