Representatives from a number of European countries will present an overview of the content of their national curriculum of these subjects; through the presentation and juxtaposition of these different perspectives, the meeting will address the extent to which curricula promote a European identity alongside the national identity.
The event is addressed to educators of all levels, relevant policy makers, as well as the interested public, who are invited to participate, consider the information about different curricula and discuss the implications that these have for the formation of national and/or European identity.

Research Meeting II: ‘The Material Heritage of Ancient Greece in Early Modern Europe: New Approaches and Perspectives’ – Athens 2024
1-2 February, 2024

This workshop aims to explore early modern Hellenism from the perspective of its material culture in a broad sense. Our scope is not confined to the early modern receptions of the physical traces of ancient Greece such as its artefacts and landscapes. It also includes the ways in which the ancient Greek heritage more generally was incorporated in the material culture of early modern Europe through art, architecture, and in other areas of daily life such as dress and book culture.
