Ekali Club Reception

The LSE held a reception on 16th February at the Ekali Club in Athens. Over 200 guests and alumni attended. The reception was also the occasion to thank publicly a new group of donors to the Hellenic Observatory.

The donors (Hellenic Petroleum, Grecotel, Global Finance, Athens Medical Group, Germanos Group, Viohalco, Coca-Cola HBC, 1 Anonymous Donor) have funded a new post of Lecturer in the Political Economy of Greece and South East Europe.

Speeches were given at the reception by Matthew Horton (Alumni Relations, LSE), Howard Davies (LSE Director), Kevin Featherstone (Hellenic Observatory Director). This event marked the first visit to Athens by Howard Davies since taking up his post as LSE Director in summer 2003. Indeed, it was his first overseas visit to an LSE alumni group as Director.
