Conferences and Lectures
An important part of the scholarly activities of the Finnish Institute at Athens consists of organising international conferences and lectures. Some of the proceedings are later published in the Institute’s series.
Since 2006 the Institute has organised an annual Johannes Sundwall lecture, given by an internationally-renowned scholar with a broad scholarly output dealing with topics that are similar to those of Sundwall’s own research. The Archaeological Survey Meetings lecture series also has a character of its own. It consists of 4 - 6 gatherings per year, organised in collaboration with the Netherlands Institute in Athens and the Canadian Institute in Greece.
