The goal of “Thucydides lectures“ series is to highlight the value of the ancient Greek author’s work with an emphasis on International Relations issues, and to enhance scientific dialogue and research on Thucydides. In addition, they contribute to building up a network of cooperation with foreign researchers and Universities. Scientific networking is a priority for our Department. This academic year we have already hosted nine academics from Europe and the US. More lectures are scheduled for the spring semester in the context of the “Thucydides Lectures“ and the Erasmus + program.
