Dear friends,

The creation of an international center for the exchange of views and fruitful dialogue on issues of the Environment, Geopolitics and Eastern Mediterranean, Energy and Security, Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development, with the volcanic island of Nisyros at its core, arose from a personal need. It is a way of expressing gratitude to my father, after whom the foundation is named. My father deeply respected this place on earth, its every corner, every path and every drystone.
