Three  events with lectures about temporary architecture in Greece:

  • 23 Mars 2009: Contemporary residences' architecture
  • 5 May 2009:    Buildings for professional use and Public Buildings
  • 2 June 2009:    Green architecture (bioclimatic buildings)

Women professors in Architecture schools and successful women architects presented  their best designs and share their experience with a great  number of men and women engineers, especially young architects who attended these three events.

On the 21st Mars EDEM organized an event with the intriguing title 'When the engineer is a woman' including lectures about the difficulties women face in the technical sector and about the new concepts women implement in engineering (respect nature and environment, sustainable development, friendly design etc). At the end of this event, the symbolic awarding ceremony of young women engineers who finished their studies with the higher degrees took place for the third year. Young and promising women engineers talked about their plans.
