The
proverb goes: “If the mountain will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet must go to the mountain”.
After so many years of Mahomet going to the mountain...
of
meetings (at the United Nations University in Tokyo, the International
Institute of software Technology in Macau and others), an instance of which is documented by the photo below, recently received:
Here

Director of UNU-IIST, Prof. Gilles Kahn, Chief Scientist, INRIA,
Sophia-Antipolis, France, Prof. Kesav V. Nori, Vice-President, TRDDC, Pune,

...yesterday the mountain came to Mahomet:
Dr.
Tomasz Janowski, Dra. Elsa Estevez, Dra. Sara Fernandes and Arq. Nuno
Silva Leal kindly drove down from Braga in awful weather (after flying
over half the world the day before) to join me for lunch and a meeting at Hotel
Albatroz in Cascais. This is to register my appreciation for the efforts, the
company and the interesting conversation. Hoping the projects discussed will
succeed.
