Message from the organisers

Athens, 27 September 2011

The 17th European Colloquium on Quantitative and Theoretical Geography (ECQTG2011) took place in Athens, Greece from the 2nd to the 5th of September 2011. The conference has formally organized by the Greek Society for Demographic Studies and hosted by Harokopio University, Department of Geography. During the conference, more than 150 researchers from around the world had the opportunity to present their work and exchange ideas.

The participation of established and young researchers in this Colloquium and the presentation of very interesting papers indicates the research dynamism in the areas of Quantitative and Theoretical Geography. We hope that this opportunity of interaction between established and young researchers from around the world will contribute to the evolution of Quantitative and Theoretical Geography.

The organising committee would like to express its sincere thanks to the authors and participants of this Colloquium. We would also like to thank all the people involved in the organisation. Special thanks go to Harokopio University, Department of Geography for hosting of the ECQTG 2011.

The next ecTQG will be held in Paris, France in September 2013.
