Environment in Education"<br>
</b></font><font face="Calibri">A parallel activity is organized by the
Hellenic Phycological Society in the frames of the
<a href="http://www.epcv.gr/">EPC5</a>. This is a conference and workshop
entitled “Algae and environment in education”. During this event,
students of primary and secondary schools supervised by their teachers
will present their works in the field of phycology. These works will be
prepared under the supervision and help of the teachers and a special
committee established by HEL.P.S. The workshop will take place on
Wednesday, 7 and Thursday, 8 of September in Rodos Palace Hotel and the
Hydrobiological Station of Rhodes (a branch of
<a href="http://www.hcmr.gr/">Hellenic Marine Research Station</a>). For
