organizes its annual intrnational conferences in Athens, Greece in
December 27,28,29,30 of 2017
Visit: http://www.iaras.org/iaras/conferences/

Each IARAS Conference is a huge international forum for academicians,
scientists and experts. IARAS is a non-profit society an for this
reason we offer our conferences registration fees at 390 EUR
(or at 530 EUR in a wonderful package: conference registration + full
hotel accomodation for 2 nights, 2 lunches, 4 coffee-breaks)

Each IARAS Conference has a distinguished Scientific Committee with
extensive academic qualifications, ensuring that the conference
maintains high scientific standards and has a broad international
coverage. All the abstracts are subject to peer review by committees’
members or 2 or 3 additional reviewers. Authors can upgrade their
Abstracts to Regular papers at an earlier stage without any
additional cost.

Social Part – Excursions
————————–
A) BANQUET: Our Banquet is organized in the evening of the first day
of the conference and will be Greek Night with greek food in a
traditional taverna with professional singers, Buzuki and other greek
traditional instruments and local dances (syrtaki, zeibekiko,
nisiotika).

B) EXCURSION: Our excursion will be a one-day Excursion in the famous
archaeological site Marathon. Marathon is a town in Greece, the site
of the battle of Marathon in 490 BC, in which the heavily outnumbered
Athenian army defeated the Persians. The tumulus or burial mound
(tomb) of the 192 Athenian dead, also called the “Soros”, which was
erected near the battlefield, remains a feature of the coastal plain.
The Tymbos is now marked by a marble memorial stele and surrounded by
a small park.
