ESME 2009 is organised by Euroscience Greek Regional Section, under the auspices of Euroscience, the European Association for the promotion of science and technology. It is the first in a series of biennial events, dedicated to scientific research and innovation. ESME provides a platform for dialogue on science and technology, society and policy, following the pattern of the Euroscience Open Forum, while focusing on the specific characteristics and needs of the Mediterranean region.

Euroscience Mediterranean Event 2009 aims at bringing together scientists and young researchers, senior government officials, policy makers, NGOs, academics and science communicators from all fields of science, thus providing a unique networking opportunity for all interested parties. Through keynote lectures, selected workshops, papers and exhibition sessions, ESME 2009 intends to assess the challenges facing the Mediterranean area’s scientific development and to focus on the future opportunities while featuring the best practices.

We look forward to receiving your proposals for presentations during the Event, as this will constitute a pivotal part of the programme which is designed to encourage your representation and active participation in the dialogue.

Join us in Athens!

Dr. Michael Arvanitis
