With more than 550 submitted abstracts and more than 500 already registered participants coming from more than 40 different countries, the 32nd European Peptide Symposium assures an exciting scientific program. The Symposium will take place at the Megaron Conference Center located in one of the nicest districts of Athens. In close collaboration with the International Scientific Committee, the Organizing Committee is composing a high quality scientific event with the aim το present and highlight the most important new results in peptide science. Around 90 contributions have been selected for oral presentation, and the program will be announced by the end of June. The Local Organizing Committee promises to offer the famous Greek hospitality to all participants. The social events will be announced later on. Visit Athens and enjoy science, social events, unique archeological sites, walks around Acropolis and the wonderful Greek weather.
