Impact studies

Over the past 25 years the Hellenic Observatory has contributed not only to the wider ‘public good’ concerning the study of Greece and the promotion of the country to wider academic and policy audiences outside Greece; but also specifically to strengthening the research capacity of, and policy-making in, Greece – by training cohorts of researchers and graduate students, providing a platform for research and research collaborations between Greece-based and UK-based academics, and with clear policy impacts including the following two flagship policy impact case studies:

Raising the minimum wage in Greece
