Atlantykron is an annual Summer Academy of Learning[1] in Romania, sponsored by David Lewis Anderson's World Genesis Foundation, with support from the Romanian National Commission for UNESCO.[2]
Atlantykron is held on an island on the Danube River near the village and ancient Roman ruins of Capidava in Romania. The first Atlantykron summer academy was held in the summer of 1989. Since then, Atlantykron has attracted hundreds of youths and teachers from all around the world who seek the opportunity to meet, interact and learn together with scientists, artists, writers and other professionals in a learning experience held in a wilderness setting.[3]
In 2001 Atlantykron was the host of Eurocon, the annual European science fiction convention coordinated by the European Science Fiction Society.[4]
