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]

Management
[edit]The Atlantykron summer academy is coordinated by Sorin Repanovici, Vice President of David Lewis Anderson's World Genesis Foundation, which became the key organization coordinating international participation and funding for Atlantykron beginning in 1999. The Academy was founded in 1989 by Alexandru Mironov, Aurel Carasel, and Sorin Repanovici. In 2009, the Academy celebrated its 20th anniversary[5] in which Sorin Repanovici also received[6] the "Lifetime of Hope" award for his personal and professional contributions in creating new hope and opportunities for youth in the world. The Lifetime of Hope award was established by the Norman Rosner family in honor of Paul Rosner, president of the U.S. Kickboxing Association and Senior Director of the World Genesis Foundation.[7]
