Science and Technology Week / Greek Programme HERMES

The University of Athens will exhibit a series of innovative products and services from June 30, to July 7, to the splendid Zappeio Exhibition and Conference Centre in Athens.

Among the exchibitors is the Medical Physics Laboratory of the School of Medicine, with the Portal of the Modern Asclepieion Park of the School of Medicine.

Despite the early stages of the Portal development this is a very good opportunity for promoting the ideas of citizen empowerment via telematic means in Health, Culture, Environment and Social interaction and the relevant services in an especially designed Park.

Proposed Collaboration of the 7 Greek Medical Schools

Professor George Creatsas, President of the School of Medicine of the University of Athens addressed a letter on June 6, 2005 to his counterparts to the other 6 Schools, proposing the collaboration to produce scientific content on Health for the Modern Asclepieions Portal

Modern Asclepieions initiative

Modern Asclepieions are new types of the famous Asclepieions of the ancient Greek world where people were flocking for a cure. Asclepieions soon became places promoting health and culture in an integral and harmonious way. In Modern Asclepieions telematic technologies can make reality the concepts of `equity of access` and `citizen empowerment`, while at the same time social interaction and participation can be promoted for the benefit of all.
