2012 Summer Seminar in Conflict and Peace Studies
Athens, Greece

Since the summer of 2002, Olympia has been hosting, with growing success, an annual international graduate summer program in comparative politics and international relations. Thanks to the collaboration of Greek universities with Yale University´s Program on Order, Conflict and Violence, the hospitality of the city of Ancient Olympia, and the generosity of Greek foundations, the Olympia Summer Seminars bring together every year a highly diverse and talented group of graduate students, professionals, and professors from more than 30 countries from around the world. The purpose of the seminars is to create a forum for high quality academic work in the unique setting of Olympia, and to provide opportunities for the creation and consolidation of scholarly networks of cooperation.

The Olympia Summer Seminars are organized by the Navarino Network, a public policy initiative based in Thessaloniki, Greece, with the support of numerous universities and foundations, including Yale University, the University of Macedonia, the Institute of International Relations at Panteion University of Athens, and several European Research Consortia, i.e. Microcon in 2008 and 2010 and TAMNEAC in 2012. The Seminars have been generously sponsored by the A. G. Leventis Foundation, and, in the past, by the National Bank of Greece and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Greece.

Due to high demand, the 2012 program will offer four cycles of studies. The application is competitive. Tuition charges cover only part of the total cost of the program since OSS is generously supported by several sponsors. A number of scholarships are offered on the basis of merit and need.2012
