Mr. Premetis, the President of the Macquarie Greek Studies Foundation Limited also gave a brief address reassuring the continuum support of the Foundation towards future projects. Dr. Patricia Koromvokis emphasized that the book is the outcome of successful collaboration and marks the beginning of other academic impactful synergies.

Professor Triantafyllos Albanis, Rector of the University of Ioannina, in his written message characterized the International Summer University as an academic activity of high standards.
