Pallas Athena Forum
Over the last 15 years, the Pallas Athena Building has hosted important events which highlighted the building’s historical importance and signalled a new era in its future. Along with the entrepreneurial activities that took place in this historic building, fora and events were organised that promoted science and academic research, the knowledge society and public dialogue on current issues.
Especially since the Pallas Athena Building came into the ownership of the John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation it has, for the most part, hosted Foundation events that are addressed to a wider audience, and one that changes according to the type of event. This newest cycle of meetings and lectures is called the Pallas Athena Forum.
