OBJECTIVE
The aim of METROSIMPOSIO is to promote exchange of experiences in academic and research and engineering technologies for the mass transit system subway to Bogota and the Sabana de Bogotá and in turn offer you a high-impact cultural event to the city and region. METROSIMPOSIO also intends to integrate the Colombians students of Engineering and Technologies applicable to projects in metropolitan and suburban trains, in a space that will allow citizens to socialize with the state of the art technologies, both nationally and internationally.
BACKGROUND
In August 2009 the Mayor of Bogota issued the decision of the first line of the Metro de Bogotá (http://www.movilidadbogota.gov.co) Under the government plan "BOGOTA POSITIVE FOR BETTER LIVING."
In turn, in February 2009, the Governor of Andhra Pradesh announced the implementation of commuter rail project to transform the system of mobility of the Sabana de Bogotá (http://www.cundinamarca.gov.co). These events mark a milestone in the fate of the largest infrastructure project in Colombia in the recent past and projected positioning of Bogotá and the Sabana de Bogotá and cultural tourist destination and world class. Because of these large infrastructure projects, citizenship is debating the impact of engineering on the welfare of Bogotá and the Sabana de Bogotá.
Distrital University Francisco José de Caldas is pleased to announce the first Symposium on Engineering and Technologies for the Metro Bogota METROSIMPOSIO, On April 30 and May 1, 2010, in the halls of the University District.
IEEE SUPPORT
Given the technical and academic "METROSIMPOSIO" in your organization follow the rules for international events of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE), the unionization of the world's largest engineering over 350 thousand members (www.ieee.org).
THEMATIC.

Mr. Bin Ning, PhD, President of Beijing Jiaoton University visited the city of Bogotá (Colombia) in May 2010 to participate as a lecturer in METROSIMPOSIO the first international symposium of engineering for the Bogota metro and the Sabana de Bogotá railway system. At Cundinamarca Government Building, Mr. Ning spoke about the intelligence communications system developed by his research team for high-speed trains in China. Dr. Ning is member of IEEE Intelligent Transport Society and has written several technical articles published in IeeeXplore and other scientific databases. Again we express our gratitude for his "long march" to visit Bogota.
