WELCOME MESSAGE

 

 

Ladies and gentlemen,

 

I have the great honour to open the ''ATHENA '14'' Conference that it will strive to comprehensively approach the objectives of the effective crisis management and conflict resolution procedures. It was launched for the first time in 1996 aiming at the development of a think tank momentum on strategic insight culture.

The Conference is based on the constructive synergy of actors expertised in the field of crisis management, focusing on exchanging new ideas and concepts so that modern global challenges be examined in a competent and practical way as well.

I firmly believe that the Conference provides an excellent chance to justify the international community concern about the crucial capabilities of building crisis management structures and procedures.

I welcome all the distinguished participants and I am sure that you will have a quite vivid experience attending the Conference.
