The European Meetings of Statisticians are among main events for European and world statistics and probability. They are
organised under the auspices of the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability. The meetings provide a
natural forum for exchange of ideas and learning about the latest scientific developments. By principle the program is broad
and appeals to researchers at any age and from all regions of Europe. The 28th European Meeting of Statisticians will be
held in the University of Piraeus, Greece. Piraeus is the main port of Greece, situated very close to Athens, the capital of the
country. Piraeus has a long history, dating back to ancient Greece. The city was initially developed in the early 5th century
BC, when it served as the port of classical Athens. In the modern era, Piraeus is a big city bustling with life, having all the
typical characteristics of a huge marine and commercial-industrial center. Apart from the main harbour, which also serves as
a link to all the islands of the Aegean Sea and the close-by islands of the Saronic Gulf (Aegina, Hydra, Poros, Spetses) there
are also many picturesque little bays such as Zea and Microlimano that offer the opportunity to walk, dinne and relax
alongside the sea. The centre of Athens (Acropolis, Plaka, Archaelogical Museum) are easily accessible from Piraeus by
public transport (overground metro/bus) or by car. The EMS conference is held in the University of Piraeus which is located
near the commercial centre of the city, 10 minutes walking distance from the taverns and the coffee shops of Microlimano
and 20 minutes from the overground metro station. The University of Piraeus was founded in 1938 as “School for Industrial
Studies” by the Industrialists and Tradesmen Association. In 1945 it was renamed “Higher School for Industrial Studies”
while in 1958, it became “Graduate School of Industrial Studies” until 1989, when it acquired its current title. Today, the
University of Piraeus hosts approximately 10000 students, 300 faculty members and 200 other staff. The University of
Piraeus comprises nine undergraduate academic departments while it offers sixteen taught masters programmes and
postgraduate research degrees (PhD). Today, the following nine Departments are run by the University of Piraeus: (1)
Economics, (2) Business Administration, (3) Statistics and Insurance Science, (4) Financial Management and Banking, (5)
Industrial Management, (6) Maritime Studies, (7) Informatics, (8) Technology Education and Digital Systems, (9)
International and European Studies.
