Conferences

Following a one-year postponement due to the pandemic, the 13th International Congress of Cretan Studies was held in the city of Agios Nikolaos from Wednesday 5th to Sunday 9th October 2022. The Congress was a hybrid event: participation was possible either in person, at the conference venue, or online. 

Congress sessions were held at the Wyndham Grand Crete Mirabello Bay Hotel, divided into three sections corresponding to the three major periods in Cretan History: a) Prehistory and Antiquity; b) Byzantium and Venetian Rule; and c) Modern and Contemporary History. The main conference themes designated for all sections were: a) Subversions, revolutions, discontinuities, revolutions; and b) Health and sickness in human communities. The Congress also included Plenary Sessions, with keynote addresses by members of the Cretan Studies academic community. 

Congress sessions were open to the public throughout, in person and via live streaming on the Congress website.
