eRA – 8 Conference

Dear Participants of eRA-8,

Welcome to eRA-8 International Scientific Conference. The program of this conference includes over a hundred presentations in several sessions. We decided this time to have parallel sessions in order to have maximum gain for every participant, saving time for everyone. The sessions are referred to Science, Economy, Technology and Education. Special Focus to Educational Technology and Methodology has occurred and very interesting results from e-learning attempts have been exposed. Dynamics of eRA series of conferences tend to have positive quality derivatives due to “Archimedes III” and “Sensera” research programs. Many younger researchers are presenting their work and valuable contributions are added to the sessions. The education sessions form the A part of parallel sessions and are co-organized with the Hellenic Educational Society.

I think that eRA-8 proves that research and international collaboration may give positive feedback to the society and push researchers to work harder.
