In these extremely difficult financial times, Aegeus is striving to continue its efforts to promote Aegean Prehistory; the research as well as the protection of our cultural heritage. The difficulties and problems we face make the need even stronger for a channel of communication, and for cooperation in order to jointly defend our goals. The work of Aegeus, up to date, has been made possible solely thanks to the material and moral support of its members; and it is...

The Greek Government has recently imposed to our Society a new tax law, the so-called ‘operation tax’. According to the law 3986/2011 (article 31) the current government calls on all non-Profit organisations to contribute to a ‘operation tax’ of 300 euros for the current economic year and raised to up to 500 euros in the next economic year.

But what is really causing a harsh impression to our Committee is the fact that all organisations and societies of different statuses and values...
