ABOUT PRIDE
PRIDE – Project Information and
Dissemination Event
38th International Convention MIPRO 25th - 29th of May 2015
MIPRO is a big international convention (more than 1000 participants from 30 – 40 countries)
dedicated to information and communication technology, electronics and microelectronics. Starting
from 1978, it has been held every year in Opatija/Abbazia, which is well known for its climate as well
as a tourist, cultural, artistic and conference destination. Traditionally, MIPRO International
Convention lasts for five days, from Monday to Friday, and as a rule it takes place during the last
week of May.
4th Project Information and Dissemination Event - PRIDE is a part of MIPRO and is being held at the
centre of the Convention at the Grand Hotel Adriatic. PRIDE is a supporting event that enables
dissemination of ongoing projects by a poster exhibition during the MIPRO Convention. It is formed
as a booth and a standalone poster exhibition that creates a space for project presentation, informal
discussion and an opportunity for future partnership. Along with the exhibition, PRIDE is offering a
permanent open access environment for online dissemination that will keep the project visible
permanently and therefor ensure the return on the time, effort and finance invested in the
presentation.
