The Hellenic Observatory organizes a number of one-off and recurrent conferences both in London and in Greece.
The aim of these events is twofold: one the one hand, to raise the awareness of the wider academic and policy communities about issues concerning Greece and Southeast Europe; on the other, to stimulate the social dialogue and inform the academic and policy debates on such issues in Greece and Southeast Europe.
These conferences bring together policy experts, government officials, academics and practitioners and are regularly attended by large audiences and attract significant publicity by local media.

For this to happen, it is vital to understand the actions and policies that have been implemented up to date, to reconsider and capture the economy’s full potential and to form a development plan which will focus on the reconstruction of the State and the Production System.
