Welcoming reception

This year’s Welcoming Ceremony will take place at the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes, also known as the Kastello (Greek: Καστέλο, from Italian: Castello, “castle”)

It is a medieval castle in the city centre of Rhodes, and one of the few examples of Gothic architecture in Greece. The site was previously a citadel of the Knights Hospitaller that functioned as a palace, headquarters, and fortress.

The Welcoming Ceremony will officially open the congress with a diverse programme including the announcements of the CED-IADR Award Winners (Robert Frank Awards and Travel Stipends Awards) and NOF Award Winners.
Following the official part, it is your opportunity to spend a nice evening with peers whilst enjoying drinks and snacks in this beautiful ambience.

For congress participants, the participation at the Welcoming Ceremony is free of charge,  but advanced registration is mandatory! Should you wish to attend this event we kindly ask you to register during your online registration.
