Description:
Since the summer of 2002, Olympia has been hosting, with growing success, an annual international graduate summer program in comparative politics and international relations. Thanks to the collaboration of Greek universities with Yale University´s Program on Order, Conflict and Violence, the hospitality of the city of Ancient Olympia, and the generosity of Greek foundations, the Olympia Summer Seminars bring together every year a highly diverse and talented group of graduate students, professionals, and professors from more than 30 countries from around the world. The purpose of the seminars is to create a forum for high quality academic work in the unique setting of Olympia, and to provide opportunities for the creation and consolidation of scholarly networks of cooperation.
