This compilation of ‘Spetses Summer Schools’ is dedicated to Professor Dr. Marianne Grunberg-Manago, Paris. In 1996, it was 30 years since these renowned Summer Schools in Molecular and Cell Biology came into existence largely through the initiative of Mme. Grunberg-Manago. Following the first Advanced Study Institute in 1966 held on the Island of Spetsai, Summer Schools devoted to topics of current interest were organized annually. These courses have had great success over the years, because they have attracted internationally acclaimed scientists as lecturers as well as excellent student participants from all over the world. The relaxed and pleasant atmosphere always fostered fruitful discussions and social interactions between the students and the lecturers. In 2006. we can celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Spetses Summer Schools.

The first part, up to the Summer School in 1988, has been reproduced from a similar compilation, which has been published as an Annex to the Proceedings of a NATO/FEBS Advanced Research Workshop on ‘Evolutionary Tinkering in Gene Expression’ held August 29-31, 1988 in Spetsai (اليونان) – NATO ASI Series: Life Sciences, vol. 169 (م. Grunberg-Manago, B.F.C. Clark and H.G. Zachau, eds.), Plenum Press, New York and London, 1989.
