April 2023: We are currently busy with the following: i) Editing a special edition of the Hestia Review; ii) publicizing our upcoming conferences; iii) Obtaining ISSN registration for the Hestia Review (preliminary registration completed). The next stage will be to register with Crossref in order to be able to issue individual DOI numbers for all articles. Next year we plan to refurbish the website and move it to a new domain.
