Takashi Suzuki was born on September 19, 1959, at Ohmachi-city, Nagano, Japan where his father worked as a civil engineer. He was educated in Tokyo from an elementary school to Toyama high-school at Shinjuku. He entered to Hitotsubashi University, majored economics, and went to the master program of its graduate school. In 1987, He entered to the department of economics, the University of Rochester, and obtained his Ph.D in 1992 under the supervision of M. Berliant and L. McKenzie. After coming back to Japan, He taught at Yokohama National University one year and obtained the position of an assistant professor at Meijigakuin University. He was a full professor from 2006 at the same university. He has been sustaining his research interest for general equilibrium theory from his student years at Hitotsubashi, but from 2010 or so, he has been also interested in Political Philosophy, mainly Justice as Fairness of J. Rawls.

Antonia Moropoulou is a world class expert in building materials and the preservation of monuments that comprise the Worlds Cultural Heritage. She has worked on restoration projects in Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, the Holy Sepulchre and the Church of Resurrection in Jerusalem, the Venetian Fortresses and Historic Cities of Rhodes, Rethymnon, Herakleion and Corfu, the Demeter Temple of Eleusis, Fortresses, architectural monuments of Venice and Magna Grecia, the Temple of Luxor in Egypt, Byzantine and Post-Byzantine Monasteries in Mount Athos and Creta, Byzantine Monasteries in Serbia and Kosovo, Historic cities, Temples and Monuments in the Mediterranean (France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Malta, Turkey, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Tynisia, Egypt). Since 1994, under her initiative, she developed a joint research initiative through a Memorandum of Understanding for the Earthquake Protection of Historical Monuments in Istanbul between Princeton University (Structural Analysis), Bogazici University (Geophysical Studies, Earthquake Engineering) and the National Technical University of Athens (Construction Materials). This initiative is still active today through co-operation projects, and within its framework the Greek contribution to the conservation of Hagia Sophia has been implemented.

Sorin Hermon. (M). Associate professor, leads the Digital Cultural Heritage research group at STARC, The Cyprus Institute (CyI), which focuses its scientific activities on two convergent fields: 3D approaches to the study of the past and big data for knowledge repositories. He is director of STARLAB, a mobile laboratory for Heritage Science, including instrumentation for non-invasive chemical-physical measurements, 3D documentation, technical imaging and remote sensing. The mobile lab provides scientific expertise to archaeological excavations in Cyprus and the region, art museums and heritage collections. A most recent achievement is the inclusion of STARLAB and its related scientific activities into E-RIHS, the European Research Infrastructure on Heritage Science, where CyI fulfill the role of a regional hub for the infrastructure. Sorin is a member of the Steering Committee of E-RIHS PP, the Preparatory Phase of E-RIHS. Within this context, Sorins research focuses on developing workflows for art characterization based on the integration of non-invasive and non-destructive chemical - physical analyses with technical imaging and 3D surface documentation for answering specific art history questions and the consequent development of STARLABs relevant instrumentation capacities for research and innovation. Sorin secured continuous competitive grants from various EU programs since 2004, most recent ones being EMAP, ARIADNE, E-RIHS PP and GRAVITATE. He is author of one book, editor of several books and peer-reviewed conference proceedings and author of more than 60 scientific papers. Sorin is currently supervising three PhD students and is teaching courses at the Science and Technology in Archaeology doctoral program of the Cyprus Institute.

Curator of the Museums of the Lot Department then Departmental Archaeologist of the Var Department, Philippe Hameau is actually assistant professor in Anthropology at the University of Nice. His thesis, supported in 1984, concerns the Postglacial Paintings in Provence (inventory, chronological, stylistic an iconographic studies). He works on the graphic acts in all their forms, from the Prehistory until our days (schematic expression of the Neolithic age and the medieval period, parietal iconography and writings of sanctuaries, graffiti in prison, tags and graffs, etc.) in the link between writers, communities and companies. He is also interested by the question of the scriptural activities in our societies : new media, analphabetism, ordinary writings, etc. Finally, he analyzes the material structures in rural areas and the processes of the southern sociability, today, in Southern France.
