About Applied Franco-Hellenic Dialogues

An initiative of professors and ambassadors Georges Prevelakis and Michel Foucher, the Franco-Hellenic Applied Dialogues aim to forge links and promote cooperation between figures from academic, diplomatic, business, and political circles in Greece and France. The exchange of views is intended to provide mutual information and explore opportunities for joint action. To date, events organized in Greece and France have covered a wide range of topics: energy, security, religion, international law, the environment, culture, seas and oceans, and Europe. These seminars are open to the public.

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to Georges Prevelakis, Dialogues franco-helléniques appliqués, IOBE, and the team at the Hellenic American Union for their collaboration in organizing this event, and to Citronne Gallery for the exhibition.
