Agora

In ancient Athens, the agora was where citizens gathered to hear news, discuss and, later, trade. The agora was the heart of the city’s political, cultural and spiritual life. It is this spirit we hope to channel in this section of the website. Here, the Agora is a public forum for discussing events unfolding in Greece and beyond.

In May 2020, we also launched a podcast called The Agora, delivering insight from our own experts and analysis from special guests. If you enjoy intelligent, lively discussion and want the bigger picture, join us for a stroll through the Agora. Our show is hosted on Acast, but you can also listen to us here:

China-EU: Navigating an increasingly complex relationship

The EU-China summit in Beijing on 7-8 December 2023 took place twenty months after the previous online event, which was famously panned as a “dialogue of the deaf”. This time around, the summit was preceded by efforts on both sides towards some sort of re-engagement in the wake of pandemic-induced travel restrictions and absence of in-person meetings for more than two years.
