As always, we aim at bringing together researchers from around the world in this beautiful place. Thessaloniki is perhaps the best city to spread the message of the EMR being an international city, crossroad of different civilizations, and with long history related to all country members of EMR. There will be, as for all the last EMR meetings: • sessions from other regions of IBS, • student travelling awards and • pre-conference courses. Thessaloniki is also a beautiful city combining a lot of different activities and sightseeing. The entire meeting is devoted to the memory of Prof Marvin Zelen (Harvard University) a keen supported of EMR, who passed away in November 2014. Details about the meeting are already available at the web-site of the meeting http://stat-athens.aueb.gr/~emribs/page/emr2017.html Please visit the site for updated information. The deadline for submitting the abstract is 11/02/2017. Note that the weekend before the conference (6-7 May 2017) there will be a symposium honoring Marvin Zelen at the same place. Dimitris Karlis on behalf of the LOC </blockquote> </div></body></html>
