EWDA2018

Dear Colleagues, dear friends

This is a very special moment for me, as I have to close this meeting and say goodbye to you.

It was my pleasure to host this Conference and it was a unique experience for me. All the difficulties and all the stress are already forgotten just looking at your faces.

We have tried to offer you the opportunity to enjoy a scientific program along with a variety of other activities which we wish have made your staying in Greece quite unforgettable.

We are deeply thankful to our keynote speakers, Ruth, Herve and Marilina, for making us the honor to accept our invitation.

Also, I would like to express my gratitude to Marie Pierre and all the exceptional members of the EWDA Board for giving me the opportunity to organize this event and for their kind cooperation so far.
