With financial support from the Region of Central Greece, the European Cultural Delphi Centre is organizing the 2026 Delphic Academy of European Studies, with the overarching theme of “Technology, Society, and Politics.”

The Delphic Academy focuses on the diachronic and synchronic study of European history and culture, as well as on the ways in which Europe today responds to the multifaceted challenges of political, economic, and cultural globalization.

The program is supervised by Harvard Professor Panagiotis Roilos, President of the European Cultural Center of Delphi.

From July 19 to 31, 2026, intensive interdisciplinary seminars will be held, primarily for doctoral candidates and graduate students, but also for undergraduate seniors.

The seminars are taught in English by internationally renowned scholars.
