Where:

ECONSHIP 2011 will be held on the island of Chios, in Greece. The island offers a unique traditional maritime environment in the heart of the Aegean Sea. This is one among the so-called ‘maritime islands’ due to the origin of one of the largest local pool of ship-owners and seamen, and Greece’s trademark for all too long.
