WELCOME LETTER

We welcome the colleagues from all over Europe and Greece to this Founding Congress, which has as its aim to establish a European Association of emeriti and retired Professors.

The aims of this Association can be briefly summarized as follows:

The creation and/or preservation of ties among academics and professors emeriti all over Europe.

The collaboration of European Professors Emeriti in conducting research projects or in producing and publishing meritorious scientific work. The submission of proposals to the relevant authorities with respect to the study of issues related to graduate and post graduate education or offering courses to the general public with a view to contributing to restructuring curricula or other sections of learning, where such needs exist. The exchange of knowledge and ideas stemming from various scientific fields, visual and performing arts. The active cooperation among European scientists across various academic fields via the organization of meetings, colloquia or conferences of interdisciplinary and intra-cultural interests and the creation of a “Think Tank”. The moral, scientific, legal counselling and material support to colleagues and their families and also to every needy individual. Further aims may be provided in the Founding Declaration. The Abstracts published in this supplement pertain to the aims of the Association that we are planning. We would like to thank the Athens Medical Society for its generous offer to publish the Abstracts of the meeting in its official journal. (The Executive Committee, Professors Emeriti, Atene 01-10-16)
