The Awards Banquet: Join Us at the Zappeion Megaron for a Night of Prestige

We extend a warm invitation to join us at the Zappeion Megaron for this unforgettable evening. Let us come together to honor excellence, applaud the awardees, whose research, leadership, and commitment have propelled our field forward.

Surrounded by the echoes of history in this historic venue, the Zappeion Megaron was built in the late 19th century amidst the lush greenery of the National Gardens. It stands as a testament to Greece's rich cultural heritage and architectural splendor, with its neoclassical façade adorned with intricate details and majestic columns. Originally constructed as part of the revival of Athens for the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, the Zappeion has since served as a venue for significant events, including international conferences, ceremonies, and cultural exhibitions.

Let's make this Awards Banquet at the Zappeion Megaron a night to remember.
