On behalf of the ENCIT 2008 Organising Committee we would like to welcome you to Belo Horizonte! We do hope that in these days, during the 12th Brazilian Congress of Thermal Sciences and Engineering, we will meet our dear friends, discuss scientific and technological issues and the most important, renew the ABCM mission of diffusion of the new advances of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering.
