🏛 Opening Ceremony at the Zappeion Megaron

We are delighted to announce that the 64th ERSA Congress will begin with an inspiring Opening Ceremony held at the iconic Zappeion Megaron in Athens — a landmark of neoclassical architecture located next to the National Gardens and the Greek Parliament. This emblematic venue has hosted numerous historical events, including Greece’s accession to the European Economic Community in 1980.

🥂 Networking & Welcome Drink

The evening will conclude with a welcome drink in the Zappeion’s beautiful open-air courtyard, offering stunning views of the Acropolis — the perfect opportunity to connect with peers in a relaxed atmosphere.
