Highlights will be, among others, the all-day long excursion on the “Milady Mylord”, the oceanographic vessel of the University of Patras, the educational activities for High School, the dissemination to the general public, the presentation of the seismobox, the hand-on ESA software, the field training sessions and the presentation of cores from the sea bottom. [...] The present state of the network was reached in 2013 and allows to addressing some scientific questions on the deformation of the crust in the area and the potential for large earthquakes: ‐ Distribution of main faults, migration of the deformation towards off shore faults. [...] After applying adequate laboratory and field tests to check that the measured magnetization is the primary one, any deviation of the declination with respect to the north/south axis reflects a tectonic rotation of the block/structure/region (the scale depends on the geographical/ structural extent of the statistical coherency of the rotation). [...] Two types of studies were conducted: one, focused on the external zones of the orogens and considering the large-scale rotations and their role in the acquisition of the curvature of the Aegean-Tauric arcs and the other one, focusing on the close surroundings of the Corinth gulf, considering the small-scale block rotations in this very tectonically active area. [...] The reconstruction of the Cenozoic evolution of the orientation of the different analyzed structures is possible on the basis of the paleomagnetic results obtained in this area.
