Special events on or off the main conference site will be grounded in 
top-level scholarly work, impeccable organisation, facilities and 
logistics and memorable events and occasions within and around the 
conference.

Following Amsterdam, Barcelona and Hamburg, the ECC 2012 is the first 
ECREA conference hosted in the South-East of Europe and will strive for 
continuation of work done in Hamburg. It will follow up on and fortify 
the work done at ECC 2010 in the area of 'Creating Links to the Central 
and Eastern European Research Communities' and contribute to the 
inclusion of researchers from Central and Eastern European countries as 
a place that facilitates the participation from these countries. In 
addition 'Encouraging European Research Networks and Projects' will be 
followed up from previous conferences and benefit from the expertise of 
ECREA members in this area.
