Welcome Address More than 17% of European GDP is due to public procurement and hence priority should be given to improve adopted practices with the objective of meeting the new challenges of financial stability and sustainable growth of the European Union. Fortunately-public procurement can play a strategic role: a) to generate public savings through improved sourcing and more effective competition between suppliers; b) to increase transparency and fair decision making to award public contracts; c) to help SMEs to participate in public markets; d) to stimulate innovation and the development of e-marketplaces; e) to promote a low-carbon society and more sustainable growth. The European Commission proposed new Directives for Public Procurement on December 2011 disseminating and introducing mandatory e- public procurement for several cases and their approval by the European Parliament took place on 15 January 2014. The dissemination of e-public procurement seems feasible due to the increasing market of e-platforms offering procurement services as SaaS (Software as a Service) supported by more robust and mature ICT and pursuing the cloud computing paradigm. The 1 st European Conference on e-public Procurement was organized on 20 th March 2013 in Barcelona, Spain, and attracted a very wide range of participants coming from more than 23 countries. Be welcome to the 2 nd European Conference on e-public Procurement. Be welcome to Lisbon! Enjoy your stay! Luís Valadares Tavares Lisbon, 15 March 2014

Which Approach Many evidences confirm that buying better implies an interdisciplinary approach to improve public procurement avoiding the temptation to believe that one single discipline can contribute to achieve such objective. The approach of these European Conferences assumes an interdisciplinary approach to public procurement following this cognitive diagram: Economics Decision Sciences Technology Information and Linguistic Sciences Management Sciences Public Law because public procurement requires: a) An appropriate balance between costs and benefits (Economics); b) Building a multicriteria model to design the evaluation systems of candidates or tenders and to apply it to get the best alternative value (Decision Sciences); c) Describing the object of the contract, classifying it using the most appropriate lexical and taxonomic approaches and disseminating such information (Information and Linguistics Sciences); d) Organizing the procurement process in respect by the principles and codes of public administrations and public contracting law (European and National levels Public Law);
Fortunately, the 1st European Conference on e-public Procurement achieved this interdisciplinary approach as it is confirmed by this statistics: Engineering/ Technologies; 20% Economics/ Finances; 17% Consulting Firms 19% Banking 8% Universities 12% Governmental Institutions 19% Information and Linguistic Sciences; 15% Law; 22% Management/ Business; 26% Lawyers and Legal Advisors 18% Technology Companies 24% Participants per Background Participants per type of Organization 2 nd European Conference on e-public Procurement ECCP 5

It is located in central Lisbon and served by an excellent public transportation network. This area is full of hotels, culture, many shopping, leisure, entertaining, sports areas and facilities.
How to get there Airport From Lisbon Airport (Portela) to IST Alameda campus is a 10 minutes' drive. Lisbon Airport is very close to the city centre it is located 7km from the centre - and there are different alternatives to get there, namely by Metro to Aerobus, by city bus (Carris) or by taxi. If you choose the metro to go from the airport straight to IST, you have the red line (linha vermelha) and you should exit in Alameda or Saldanha station. It takes around 15 to 20 minutes and costs 1,25 plus 0,50 for the "viva viagem" rechargeable card. Taxi Taxis allow you to arrive at IST from any point in the city, but of course the tariff also increases according to the distance, traffic and day time. An airport-ist trip is around 10 euros. It is possible to buy "taxi vouchers" at the airport from 20 to 25. Bus The whole city of Lisbon is provided with an urban transport network with convenient timetables and frequent buses.
