ABOUT

The Greek-British Symposium is a privately led and sponsorship-funded initiative in partnership with the British Embassy in Athens and the Greek Embassy in London, delivered by the Delphi Economic Forum. Its mission is to strengthen the links between the two countries to mutual benefit.

The Symposium was launched in October 2017, in Nafplion, Greece; continued the next year in Ditchley Park in the UK, and returned to Nafplion in 2019. In 2020 we delivered the Symposium in a hybrid format for safety reasons, with only a limited number of speakers gathering physically in Athens and the rest joining online. In 2021, we returned to a fully physical event hosted at Pembroke College, Oxford and in 2022 we returned to Nafplion. In 2023 took place in London, in 2024 in Thessaloniki and last year in Cambridge.

The Symposium is an annual, by invitation only, event which brings together leaders in politics, business, academia, media and culture from the UK and Greece for an exchange of views and ideas on the challenges and opportunities facing our countries and on how to enrich the relationship between them.

STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERS

The Symposium is run by a 10-member-strong Steering Committee headed by two Chairs (British and Greek). Committee members meet on a monthly basis.
