In September 2014, under the auspices of the municipality of Zakynthos and the Embassy of Belgium in Athens, the Ionian Island will host events commemorating the 500th anniversary of the birth of Andreas Vesalius in Brussels. The Flemish physician, the father of modern human anatomy, died on Zakynthos, Greece, in 1564.
The 2014 events are being organized by an enthusiastic team of volunteers: Pascale Pollier, Ann Van de Velde, Mark Gardiner, Pavlos Kapsambelis, Gerassimos Coidan and coordinator Theo Dirix, financially managed by the Belgian not-for-profit organization BIOMAB: http://biomedicalart.blogspot.gr/
