-- HOST CITY --

Greece is one of the world's most popular destinations with ancient and modern 
attractions such as museums of the ancient and Byzantine eras and archaeological 
sites and cities, all of them with historical monuments which have inspired modern 
education and culture around the world. Thessaloniki is located in the region of 
Central Macedonia and as the second largest Greek city it is a significant business 
hub for Southeast Europe and a remarkable place to visit. Built on the waters of the 
North Aegean sea, the city and its 1 million inhabitants are renowned for their 
hospitality and easy going lifestyle. The wider area of Macedonia in Greece was the 
center of the ancient kingdom of Macedon, where the philosopher Aristotle, the father 
of formal logic, was born and where he taught Alexander the Great and other 
important men.  


-- HOST INSTITUTION --

ETAPS 2018 is hosted by the School of of Informatics of the Aristotle University
of Thessaloniki (http://www.csd.auth.gr/en/ <http://www.csd.auth.gr/en/>). The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 
is the largest university in Greece with about 70.000 students.
