General Information

Dates of the Congress:Tuesday, July 11 to Saturday, July 15, 2006

Congress Venue:Isle of Spetses, Greece, at Anargyrios and Korgialenios School of Spetses

The Anargyrios and Korgialenios School of Spetses is a neoclassic building located a few steps from the sea and about 1km outside the town of Spetses. It has been an educational institute since 1919 and has accommodated a large number of conference events.

The Isle of Spetses is a 22km² island in the Saronic Gulf, very close to the Pelopon-nessian coast. Travel to Spetses is easy via hydrofoil-boats from Piraeus, the Athenian port, or by bus, following the Peloponnessian coast. The boat trip is highly recommended, especially by taking advantage of the Special Travel Package (see Accommodation section). No cars are allowed in the town of Spetses but moving around is done through various forms of transport such as horse buggies, motorbikes, bicycles and a small number of public buses and taxis. The Porto Heli and Costa villages, located at the opposite Peloponnessian coast, are easily accessible via water-taxis. Small ferry-boats also frequently connect Costa with Spetses. Small boats and water-taxis, along with public bus routes, are available for travelling around the island, reaching coves, beaches and hamlets scattered around.

Language:The official language of the Congress is English, including lectures and all printed material (abstract submission, book of abstracts, certificates of attendance, book of selected congress papers, etc.).

Climate and clothing: July is a hot month in Greece. The average high temperature ranges from 22 to 33 °C. Light clothing, a pair of sunglasses, comfortable shoes and swimming suits are highly recommended.

Insurance: The Congress Organizing Bureau in cooperation with AIG (American International Group), one of the biggest insurance companies provides you with a reliable travel insurance coverage for your trip (for more information, please visit www.erasmus.gr ).
