The aim of

notion of the “Open School”. A school that

businesses, experts, universities, and others
into an innovation ecosystem.

Conference Venue: Athens, Greece
Once again,
the Open Classroom Conference returns to Athens,
one of the world's leading destinations. Of
course, everyone knows the ancient history of
the city and the myths surrounding it. Today, as
a city dating back to antiquity, Athens is an
interesting case study of architecture and is
home to a variety of styles, from Greco-Roman to
Neoclassical to modern.
The beginning
of October brings warm, sunny days, with only a
small chance of rain, and an average daily
temperature of 19-20°C - perfect for exploring
the city, especially as the number of tourists
decreases after the summer months.

your stay, here are some useful sites:
