It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 33rd Annual Conference of the
International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, which is held in
Thessaloniki, at the Aristotle University and the University of Macedonia.
Thessaloniki is the second largest city in the country, in the district of central
Macedonia with a continuous 3000-year history. With almost one million inhabitants,
Thessaloniki is an important economic, commercial, intellectual and cultural centre
for Greece and South-East Europe.
Its long multiethnic and multicultural history is documented in a wealth of
monuments, from ancient ruins dating 23 centuries back to important churches dating
from the 5th century and still in use. Conference attendees will have the opportunity
to visit all monuments and museums in guided tours, organized by the conference
secretariat during the conference.
