Garganas (governor, Bank of Greece SA) (photo courtesy of: LSE) February 16, 2004 -- The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) held a reception today at the Ekali Club in Athens. Over 200 guests and Greek alumni of the LSE attended. The reception was also the occasion to thank publicly a new group of donors to the Hellenic Observatory. The donors -- Hellenic Petroleum SA, Grecotel, Global Finance SA, Athens Medical Group, Germanos Group, Viohalco SA, Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company SA and one benefactor who wishes to remain anonymous -- have funded a new post of Lecturer in the Political Economy of Greece and South-East Europe. This post has a fixed term for five years, is to commence in September 2004 and has a salary of up to GBP 35,813 pa incl. (pay award pending). The new course will focus on the history of economic and political events in South-East Europe and changes in its economies. Speeches were given at the reception by Matthew Horton (Alumni Relations, LSE), Sir Howard Davies (LSE Director and guest of honour) and Prof. Kevin Featherstone (Director of the Hellenic Observatory, LSE). This event marked the first visit to Athens by Sir Howard since taking up his post as LSE Director in summer 2003. Indeed, it was his first overseas visit to an LSE alumni group as Director. The Hellenic Observatory, within the European Institute at the LSE, focuses on the social scientific study of contemporary Greece and Cyprus. It has been re-launched under its current Director, Prof. Featherstone, with a programme of research and public activities. Dr. Spiro J. Latsis, Chairman of the Board of EFG Bank European Financial Group, serves as a Member of the Board of Governors of the London School of Economics.
