Dear Colleagues,
The financial crisis and subsequent recession have sharply exacerbated divergences and tensions in the Euro area and in the EU as a whole. The Greek economy is in deep crisis and several other European states face similar pressures. The policies of the EU and the stronger member states are reinforcing a polarisation that threatens to release strong disintegrative tendencies in the Union.
These issues were at the forefront of the EuroMemorandum conference in Crete from 24-26 September.
The University of Crete is about five kilometres from the city of Rethymno. You find information sheets with details about travel arrangements and hotel bookings here. Rethymno is roughly equidistant from the airports at Chania and Heraklion. A contingent of rooms has been reserved at two hotels in Rethymno. Please use the attached form to make your own bookings. Transport will be arranged between the hotels and the university during the conference.
