Athens had the honour of welcoming the highly successful 32nd Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) 2026

Over several inspiring days, thousands of distinguished scientists, archaeologists, and researchers from all over the world gathered in Athens — transforming our city into a vibrant global hub for scientific progress, dialogue, and cultural exchange.
As a proud Official Supporter of this premier scientific meeting, Develop Athens practically reinforces Athens' position as a top international destination for conference tourism (MICE) while promoting our invaluable cultural heritage.
This success is the ideal example of how strategic partnerships connect the international academic community with local scientific talent, creating a significant economic and cultural impact for the city.
Congratulations to the EAA community, the organizers, and everyone who contributed to making this exceptional global gathering a tremendous success. We continue to support major events that place Athens at the top of the global map!
