Thessaloniki – Greece, 2003

The 8^th International Conference was organized at Thessaloniki in the autumn of 2002, thanks to Greek Board-member Charalambos Bakirtzis. The theme was “Wall and Floor Mosaics: Conservation, Maintenance, Presentation”, and, for the first time, conservation issues relating to wall mosaics were brought well into the picture. Another four recommendations / resolutions were unanimously approved at the end of the conference, and a new Board was elected. The proceedings of the conference have been published as: Εντοίχια και Επιδαπέδια Ψηφιδωτά: Συντήρηση, Διατήρηση, Παρουσίαση/ Wall and Floor mosaics: Conservation, Maintenance, Presentation.
