Greek scientists abroad represent a national heritage, forming a network of global Hellenism. What can they offer to the homeland? How can they contribute to the promotion of innovative ideas?

The panel of speakers is called to address these questions. In an era where the world is moving at full speed, where we are not in a marathon but in continuous sprints, the big question is how we can find practical ways to move the country to the next stage. Whatever these ways may be, for Greece to soar as it did in the past, it needs to integrate the diaspora, as Alexis Papachelas mentioned during his speech at the presentation of the initiative.

The initiative is coordinated by Angelos Chaniotis, Chairman of Komvos’ Board of Directors.
The discussion is moderated by Anna Grimani, Journalist, Author, Board Member of Komvos.
The discussion includes the participation of:

• Christina Koulouri, Rector of Panteion University, Member of the National Council for Research, Technology, and Innovation, Corporate Member of Komvos
• Alexis Papachelas, Director of the newspaper “Kathimerini”
• Dr. Evi Sakhini, Director of the National Documentation Centre
• Angelos Chaniotis, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, Member of the National Authority for Higher Education, Member of the National Council for Research, Technology, and Innovation, Chairman of the Board of Komvos
