We celebrated two days of interesting topics in the wonderful city of Athens during the Joint Maritime and Tourism & Sports Conference on 7 and 8 November.
Many thanks to the unprecedented efforts of Ioannis Pavlakis (Chair of the Maritime SIG) and the whole Moschos family and Phil Banks, Chair of the Tourism & Sports SIG.
It is with the heaviest heart that we must inform you that our dear Wolfgang Resch has passed away on November 4th, surrounded by the love of his family and friends.

Over 1,000 deaths and hundreds injured.

In the beautiful and historical town of Thessaloniki, capital of Greek Macedonia, the perfectly organised PEOPIL Occupational Health & RTA Conference could be nothing more than another successful event.
Highly ranked and accredited in their field professors, attorneys and technical experts, mainly from Europe but also from other parts of the world, formed a very strong team of panelists and speakers, while all participants were warmly welcomed by the Athens and Thessaloniki Bar Association representatives, as per the well known Greek hospitality.
In January 2017, in the midst of the largest immigration wave from Turkey towards Europe, via the eastern Greek islands, two asylum seekers, one from Syria and another from Egypt, died in their sleep due to toxic carbon monoxide inhalation in the Refugees’ Reception and Identification Center of Moria, on the island of Lesvos in Greece.
After a pause of over two years due to covid the long-awaited conference was indeed a great success.
When we started the McGill /PEOPIL aviation seminar collaboration back in 2008 in Toulouse, France we were 17 participants, including speakers. That seminar included a much appreciated visit to Airbus and their 380 assembly plant.
