According to Professor John-Paris Pantouvakis, conference chair for PM-05, "We received many good abstracts, so we expect the results to again be very positive. So even though Greece has been in the news lately with serious economic and financial problems, our conference has exceeded our expectations."
"The historic island of Crete holds a special place in the history and culture of Western Civilization," he added. "We will welcome colleagues and researchers from around the world to this wonderful Greek island, and in the Springtime, the most appealing season for visiting the Mediterranean region."
Crete is the largest island in Greece. In addition to being the home of the first European civilisation - the Minoan civilization dating 5000 years ago - the island offers mountains and sandy beaches that are among the finest in the world. Crete has a mild Mediterranean climate and the conference participants will have the opportunity to taste one of the oldest and most tasty gastronomic traditions in the world and to enjoy the famous Cretan hospitality.
