WISDOM Survey
Would you like to contribute to the wider EURO community? The WISDOM Forum are conducting a survey to explore the participation in OR (sub-)disciplines by gender, to identify potential challenges to participation, and to create insights into different academic career paths. The survey is open to ALL genders, we wish to understand the career paths of men and women. Your responses will contribute not only to our research, but toward shaping Equality, Diversity and Inclusion within the wider EURO community. We would really appreciate you donating 10 minutes of your time to fill in this survey here.
WISDOM Roundtable in EURO21 Athens
WISDOM will organise a Roundtable in EURO21 Athens Conference, which will be held in a hybrid format on the 11-14 July 2021. EURO21 Athens is the largest and most important conference for Operational Research and Management Science (OR/MS) in Europe organized by EURO – the European Association of Operational Research Societies and the Hellenic Operational Research Society (HELORS). The conference will be held at the University of West Attica (UNIWA) in Athens located in the area of the Holy Olive Grove “Eleonas” of the ancient Athenians, where Plato taught his students. Several outstanding Plenaries and Tutorial Speakers have been selected and will present the state-of-the-art in Operations Research and outline pathways of its future developments, while participants will have the opportunity to submit their work for publication in a series of special issues of very important journals. To date, more than 1900 abstracts have been submitted by researchers, academics, practitioners, and students interested in any branch of Operational Research, mathematical modelling or economic analysis, which are organized under 18 Scientific Areas and 141 Streams with more than 490 Sessions.
Meanwhile, let's take a look of what to see in Athens during EURO2021 (suggestions from Katerina Papapostolou and Chara Karakosta, WISDOM PR subcom).
EURO21 Athens website provides useful information about Athens:
- Cultural life, Gastronomy, Social life
- Highlights (Museums, destinations, cultural centres)
- Useful Info (banks, shopping, eating)
Some options for coffee or drink:
- “Agia Eirini Square” or at “Karytsi Square” or Kolokotroni str. They are near to Syntagma Square, so you could go by foot.
- Coffee or drink with nice view are THEA TERRACE BAR, more particularly in Monastiraki square I would propose two Coffee-Bar-Restaurants with beautiful view on the roof top called “A for Athens” and “360 Cocktail bar”, City Zen
- For coffee I also like the Bartesera (Kolokotroni 25 - stoa Praksitelous)
- For a cocktail also The CLUMSIES
- For a wine bar I enjoy the By the Glass
Some Restaurants below (there is always the choice of a souvlaki, which is almost everywhere nice):
- TZITZIKAS & MERMIGAS
- Athinaikon
- Very interesting for wine or tsipouro and something to eat is Karamanlidika, Sokratous 1, Athens
- Klimataria
- Anafiotika
- Dioskouroi, Dioskourwn 13 or Adrianou 39, Athens
- Mavro provato, Arrianou 31, pagkrati
For more options see here.
Regarding the transportation here you can find all the tickets available for your transportation in Athens. There are different ticket packs, I recommend the 3-day tourist ticket 20,00 €. For tickets see more here. See here for access to points of interest in Athens by public transport. For child entertainment I would propose the following:
- Allou fan park, with a dedicated “Kidom” area with games and entertainers for children
- Attica Park which is a zoological park with a lot of things to do for children and their parents (shopping, coffee, restaurant, events, etc.)
And, finally some shopping centres:
- The Mall Athens (next to Line 1 station “Nerantziotissa”)
- Athens Metro Mall (next to Line 2 station “Agios Dimitrios”)
- McARTHURGLEN ATHENS (next to above mentioned Attica Park)
