Dear friends and colleagues,

It is a pleasure and great honour to invite you to join us in Sintra, Portugal, for the "2013 Molybdenum & Tungsten Enzymes Conference", from July 16^th to 19^th, 2013. Sintra is an historical place, quite close to Lisbon and easy to reach. Sintra is a fresh location in the mountains, with gardens, castle and palaces, coming from arabic times, before the conquest of Lisbon. A place for kings and poets. You will find here a delightful place for architecture, handcrafts and good cooking and sweets (“queijadas” and “travesseiros”). All sessions will take place in the Tivoli Sintra Hotel, with a magnificent view overlooking the valley.

We will ensure a great scenario for an attractive Conference, made by all of you. We look forward to your participation in a quiet and secure place, where you will feel scientifically awarded and supported by a friendly, stimulating and beautiful environment.

Looking forward to greeting you all in Sintra.

José J. G. Moura (chair) and Sharon Burgmayer (co-chair)
