The Region of Thessaly is organizing the 2nd International Conference on the History and Culture of Thessaly, from November 18 to 21, 2027, at the OUIL Cultural Center in Larissa.

The conference serves as an invitation to scientists, universities, research centers, archaeological services, museums, and cultural institutions from Greece and abroad to come together and engage in dialogue. Its purpose is to present, document, and provide a comprehensive assessment of the latest research findings on Thessaly, from prehistoric times through its full integration into the Greek state in 1912.

Following the first conference in 2006, this event brings together the results of two decades of scientific research, archaeological discoveries, and studies of local history. It aims to highlight new aspects of the past, connect individual findings, and shed light on the social, economic, and cultural development of Thessaly as a whole over time.

Through academic sessions and parallel cultural and educational activities, knowledge is shared with society. History serves as a starting point for self-awareness, collaboration, and discussion about the future of the region, with findings that are accessible and useful to researchers, organizations, and citizens.
