This whole project wouldn’t have been possible to achieve if it weren’t for our sponsors and supporters. That’s the reason why we want to give them special thanks for enabling us to set the first AMEAC in Terrassa. Specially, we would like to thank three entities which have given us vital support on the development of the congress: our university UPC (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) by our faculty ETSEIAT, Ajuntament de Terrassa (city government) and the Generalitat de Catalunya (Catalan government).
