ICAR CONGRESS 2024
Dear ICAR community,
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the ICAR 2024 Congress, hosted by the Hellenic Rescue Team.
This year’s convention will be held ln Thessaloniki and on Olympus, the mountain of the Gods. Two places with long history, many legends and numerous sights to visit.
Furthermore these two locations are of great importance for our organisation. Thessaloniki is where our headquarters is based and Olympus is the mountain where Petrostrouga, our mountain refuge, is located and also where most of our mountain operations are held.
Our organisation, in fact, was formed by mountaineers who have been voluntarily providing Search and Rescue services on Olympus since 1978.
HRT was officially established as an association in 1994 and since then our volunteers have been participating in Search and Rescue operations in response to emergencies and mass disasters, whenever they take place, whether in Greece or abroad.
Team work, passion, sense of responsibility and the love of human life are the keystones for the Hellenic Rescue Team. We are committed to serving and protecting these values to the best of our abilities.
We look forward to welcoming you!
