The 8th GEC Summit will be hosted at the historic Agora Argyri, a beautifully restored multi-purpose cultural center located in the heart of Patras. Originally a market building, this architectural gem now serves as a hub for innovation, science, and art.
Located just steps away from the city's intercity coach and train terminal, the main square and the harbor, Agora Argyri provides an inspiring setting for collaboration and academic exchange.
