Hellenic Observatory

Welcome to the web pages of the Hellenic Observatory.

“I would like to stress the important contribution of the Hellenic Observatory in better understanding modern Greece. Since it was founded in 1996, the Observatory has been gradually evolving into a prominent research centre for the analysis of economic, social, institutional and political aspects of Greece. I am convinced that the programme will continue to flourish and provide us with valuable research insights”.
Statement by the Prime Minister of Greece, Mr Costas Karamanlis, in his lecture at the LSE on 20 November 2006

Agenda

The HO wishes you a happy and relaxing summer. The office will remain open throughout the summer, but there are no events or public activities planned for the summer months. We look forward to welcoming you to one of our forthcoming events in the Michaelmas term (starting October 2008). Agenda will be updated again in September.
