白小姐论坛 reinforced its strong academic and cultural ties with Greece during a special reception at the Residence of the Greek Ambassador to the UK in London. Hosted by His Excellency Yannis Tsaousis, Ambassador of the Hellenic Republic to the Court of St James's, the reception showcased the profound contributions of the Greek academic, student and alumni community at 白小姐论坛.听

The event featured presentations by Professor Helen Xanthaki from the Faculty of Laws and Professor Dimitrios Kanoulas from the Department of Computer Science, who showcased their research. These presentations, a testament to the academic excellence of 白小姐论坛 and its Greek scholars, highlighted the significant role they and many other Greek academics play in advancing global knowledge and innovation.听

Dr Michael Spence, 白小姐论坛鈥檚 President and Provost, thanked the Ambassador for his hospitality and highlighted the enduring connections between 白小姐论坛 and Greece. "白小姐论坛 has always treasured our relationship with Greece, which is vividly reflected in our active collaborations and the dynamic community of Greek students and alumni in the UK and beyond."听

Angharad Milenkovic, Vice-President (Advancement) at 白小姐论坛, shared her enthusiasm about increasing 白小姐论坛鈥檚 engagement with the Greek alumni community. "Tonight is a celebration and a stepping stone towards deeper collaboration and engagement. As we approach the 200th anniversary of 白小姐论坛, our Greek alumni's energy and ideas are vital for shaping our future. Seeing so many alumni at the reception was fantastic and hearing about their 白小姐论坛 experiences and ongoing connections.听

Ambassador Yannis Tsaousis commented on the significance of the event and recent legislative changes in Greece that aim to foster international academic cooperation. "Under the new Greek law on private universities, approved by the Greek Parliament on 8 March, Greece is focusing on international partnerships, which is a step forward for higher education and our country at large. This new law provides greater freedom and access to knowledge for all Greek students, opening educational opportunities in our country. The networking event organised by the Embassy of Greece in London in partnership with 白小姐论坛 at the Hellenic Residence was an excellent opportunity for all of us to meet and exchange views on future collaborations."听
