Venue
The Workshop will take place at the Eugenides Foundation, commonly known in Athens as the “Planetarium”. It is located close to the city centre, close to the sea front where major touristic and cultural sites (such as Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre) and the new pedestrian walk across the sea front exist.
The Eugenides Foundation Auditorium, one of the first conference venues in Greece, was completely renovated in 2016, while still retaining its original architectural features.
With a capacity of 420 people, modern audio-visual equipment and experienced specialized technical support staff, it is the ideal venue for conferences, presentations and official events.
The auditorium extends over two levels: the main seating area located on the first floor and the gallery on the second. The raised permanent stage has a bench with 10 seats for a panel of speakers and a podium. There are also three interpretation booths. If so required, the auditorium may be linked by a two-way image and sound communication system with the adjoining lecture hall, thus increasing the conference capacity to 540 people.
The auditorium is accessible and friendly to people with mobility impairment and the disabled. It has special positions for wheelchair users and a wheelchair lift allowing access to the stage.
Free Wi-Fi is available in the auditorium, as well as throughout the Eugenides Foundation premises.
The Eugenides Foundation operates in full compliance with all safety and protection measures in the field of hosting conferences and events regarding Covid-19 as they are set by the Greek authorities.
