Lavrion Technological Cultural Park (LTCP)
The Young Professionals’ Night (YPN) is an informal and relaxed evening specially dedicated to young professionals.
The Young Professionals’ night will take place on Thursday evening in the Lavrion Technological Cultural Park (LTCP) of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) immediately after the Symposium “CONFRONTING CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS ON WATER RESOURCES USING INNOVATIVE GREEN SOLUTIONS”.
The LTCPLTCP has been supporting young Greek scientists since start of operation, offering an ideal place to apply their research work in real conditions. It is a place where knowledge and technology are produced and where they are applied in practice. Moreover, some large-scale NTUA research projects are being implemented at the LTCP. It is, at the same time, a place for demonstration of innovative technologies on products and services. It is a destination for visitors with a variety of scientific, educational, cultural and business interests. Finally, it is an ongoing experiment of osmosis of a Public University with the local community in the direction of development, and a stable bridge of communication between the NTUA and the broader Hellenic society.
The creation of LTCP, on the same site where the beginning of the industrial revolution of Greece took place, revives memories of the past and stresses the effort for development. Simultaneously, the site’s supervision by the NTUA, the top educational institution in the country with strong links with technology, innovation and development on the one hand, and the synergies that the Park develops on the other hand, offer a significant added value in this effort.

The “Another Tale Quartet”
During the YPN, the group “Another Tale Quartet” has selected a list of well-known jazz, rock and funk tracks especially for this event.
“Another Tale Quartet” was formed in the summer of 2015 by Vironas Dolas (guitars), Achilleas Tabakis (bass), Yannis Mantziaras (drums, percussion) and George Giannopoulos (saxes, keys). The group’s sound and style are classified in the area of modern jazz, drawing influences from its classical form to modern versions of improvisational music, with original compositions as the main body. It includes musicians from two generations with different influences and approaches to music. This is noticeable in the processing of the group’s own compositions, as well as in the selection and the aesthetic approach of well-known pieces from the past, both from the area of jazz and from the area of rock, funk and ethnic music.For more info: https://www.facebook.com/anothertalequartet
