About the event

The Greek Energy Forum and The American College of Greece co-organize the 3rd “Energy Policy Future Leaders” Academy within the regional landscape of Southeastern Europe. This follows the successful organisation of the previous “Energy Union Future Leaders” Academies conducted in previous years in Athens and Thessaloniki under the auspices of the Vice President of the European Commission Maroš Šefčovič and inaugurated by Greece’s ministers of energy and the U.S. Ambassador to Greece.

The “Energy Policy Future Leaders” Academy seeks to select 40 high-caliber university students and young professionals with genuine interest in Energy. The objective is to educate these promising 40 young individuals on the significance of European Energy Policies regarding the energy transition, energy security and energy union, as well as highlight the indispensable element of “regionality” and the relations with EU’s international partners.

About the Energy Policy Future Leaders Academy

The Energy Policy Future Leaders Academy is a program intended to identify high-caliber university students and young professionals with proven, genuine interest in Energy and educate them on key elements of current European Energy Policies.

The program’s purpose is to offer these promising young individuals an intensive, challenging and rewarding course on the structure that makes EU’s Energy Policy an essential part of the European Union. The course will examine the fundamental principles that shape the European Energy Policy, analyze the benefits, evaluate the goals, identify the vulnerabilities, and suggest improvements for EU’s energy policy.

The Academy aspires to create -on a biannual basis- a small but valuable core of young energy experts equipped with specialized knowledge to understand, defend, promote, and enrich EU’s Energy Policy.

The program covers four core EU energy policy areas: Energy Security & Solidarity, the Internal Energy Market, Energy Transition & Decarbonization, Energy Efficiency.

The objectives will be met through targeted seminars on all pilar aspects of European Energy Policies, debates, discussions & workshops on critical energy topics, conducted by successful business executives from the energy sector as well as EU, and other government officials & Academics related to the energy sector.

This is a 100% non-profit initiative and hence the participants will not be required to pay any registration fees for their attendance. Furthermore, it is within the organizers’ intentions to cover accommodation expenses for all successful applicants.

202330May15:0016:00Invest in Love: Decolonial, Feminist, and Queer Curatorial Approaches in deep dive (pause): uncoiling memory15:00 - 16:00

Event Details

When: Tuesday, May 30 2023, 15:00-16:00
Where: 7th Level Auditorium

Organized by:
The Art History Society

About the event

Name of the speaker: Kate Wilcox

Information for the speaker: Kate M. Wilcox is an Edinburgh-based museum professional who creates supportive museum experiences that encourage inquiry, reflection, and critical thinking.

Commissioned by the Scotland + Venice consortium to produce a multimedia installation for the 59th International Art Exhibition, artist-curator Alberta Whittle employs her signature wayward curatorial approach in the creation of deep dive (pause): uncoiling memory, which is envisioned as a ‘space built on black love, care, queerness, community and healing.’ This presentation begins by providing context as to why wayward curation is necessary to combat the exclusionary mandates of hegemonic institutions and acknowledges the political interests of the installation’s commissioner. This is followed by an analysis of how modes of resistance are conceptualized within the critical theories Whittle has identified as influential to her practice. Wayward curation is further deconstructed with a final assessment of how the content, design, and production of the installation resists racist, patriarchal, and heteronormative paradigms embedded within the art world. Central to this is Whittle’s network of accomplices – composed of institutions, curators, performers, technicians, and invigilators – who forge a mutually supportive mode of operating through an additive production process. Also worth examination is the continuing evolution of this exhibition as it changes galleries, institutions, and audiences.

Σχετικά με την εκδήλωση

Το Climathon είναι ένα 24ωρο ideathon που επιδιώκει να προσελκύσει και να ευαισθητοποιήσει τους πολίτες σε θέματα που αντιμετωπίζει η τοπική κοινότητα και αφορούν την κλιματική κρίση και αλλαγή. Ένας από τους βασικούς στόχους, μεταξύ άλλων, είναι να εντοπίσει βιώσιμες και καινοτόμες λύσεις με θετικό αντίκτυπο για το κλίμα.

Το Climathon αποτελεί μία από τις πρωτοβουλίες του ΕΙΤ Climate-KIC (Κοινότητα Γνώσης και Καινοτομίας για το κλίμα), η οποία υποστηρίζεται από το Ευρωπαϊκό Ινστιτούτο Καινοτομίας και Τεχνολογίας (ΕΙΤ). Επιδίωξη του Climathon είναι η ενίσχυση των ενεργειών των δήμων και των πολιτών για την αντιμετώπιση της κλιματικής αλλαγής. Μέχρι σήμερα, το Climathon έχει καταφέρει να ενώσει 200 μεγάλες πόλεις, σε 65 χώρες και στις 6 ηπείρους, υποστηρίζοντας καινοτόμες δράσεις στο πλαίσιο του αστικού περιβάλλοντος και φιλοξενώντας πάνω από 9.000 συμμετέχοντες! Στην Ελλάδα το Climathon έχει διοργανωθεί σε 14 πόλεις (Αθήνα, Πειραιάς, Θεσσαλονίκη, Λάρισα, Θήβα, Κέρκυρα, Ηράκλειο  και Μυτιλήνη).

Στην καρδιά της πρωτοβουλίας βρίσκονται οι διοργανωτές του Climathon σε κάθε πόλη, οι οποίοι υποστηρίζουν και προωθούν το κίνημα σε όλο τον κόσμο. Δήμοι, επιχειρήσεις, σχολεία και πανεπιστήμια, ειδικοί και μη, νέοι και γονείς καλούνται να συμμετάσχουν σε αυτό το ταξίδι συνδημιουργίας νέων λύσεων.

Το Climathon στην Αγία Παρασκευή θα πραγματοποιηθεί στις 18 και 19 Νοεμβρίου 2022 στο Αμερικανικό Κολλέγιο Eλλάδος από το Αμερικανικό Κολλέγιο Ελλάδος, τον Δήμο Αγίας Παρασκευής και το ΕΚ ΑΘΗΝΑ, που διευθύνει το EIT Climate-KIC Hub Greece σε συνεργασία με το Κέντρο Αριστείας για τη Bιωσιμότητα, Αμερικανικό Κολλέγιο Ελλάδος, Γραφείο Public Affairs, Aμερικανικό Κολλέγιο Ελλάδος.

Σήμερα, περισσότερο από ποτέ, χρειαζόμαστε καινοτόμες ιδέες και δράσεις για το κλίμα επιδιώκοντας μηδενικές εκπομπές άνθρακα σε παγκόσμια κλίμακα. Ως εκ τούτου, φιλοδοξούμε να συνεισφέρουμε στην εξεύρεση αποτελεσματικών λύσεων για τις πραγματικές κλιματικές προκλήσεις.

About CSR School

The CSR-School provides advanced training regarding the identification of sustainability-related business opportunities and the inclusion of responsibility in the core of one’s business strategy, in order to achieve sustainable value and formulate a more resilient organization.

The training program is envisioned as a journey that will cover all major identified areas that relate to the responsible management of sustainability. From September to December 2022, during which a minimum of 40 hours of sustainability-related knowledge and management experience will be shared, trainees will gain an up-to-date overview of major developments around the largest environmental, social and governance challenges affecting businesses nowadays.

During the 10-part Webinar series, the participants will watch lectures by distinguished academic faculty members, discuss relevant case studies, learn about best practices that have been implemented by experienced senior professionals and exchange views and thoughts around the incorporation of relevant theory into the CSR initiatives of their own organization.

The first School took place in September 2019 at the premises of The American College of Greece, while the second  and third ones in 2020 and 2021 respectively were entirely digital due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The program is addressed to professionals and practitioners interested in gaining in-depth perspective and knowledge on corporate sustainability and responsibility as well as undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate students.

The program will provide in-depth knowledge, as participants will receive a holistic training on CSR, in 10 thematic areas, and will combine theoretical knowledge provided by distinguished academics, practical examples by business practitioners from CSR Hellas members, and interactive dialogues among the practitioners and the tutors.

The thematic areas are the following:

  • Sustainable Value Creation
  • Sustainable Corporate Governance & Legal aspects of CSR
  • Sustainable Supply Chain Management
  • Responsible Human Capital Management
  • Management of Social Capital Management
  • Climate Change and Environmental Management
  • Sustainable Finance & Responsible Investments

About the event

What does education – formal and informal – have to offer with regard to sustainability? How do the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) bridge academia and business in pursuit of a common future? What new skills are needed in the new sustainability landscape as it is taking shape? What do policies on a corporate and state level reflect regarding our progress so far in terms of sustainable development?

This CSR event will bring together representatives of the Greek state, expert professionals from the corporate world, and distinguished academics from both public and private universities for a high-level exchange of ideas based on their shared faith in the value of “Education for Sustainability.”

This event will also be an opportunity to celebrate CSR HELLAS’ major educational initiatives, that is:

  • The CSR School, the Executive Education Program on Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility, offers advanced theoretical and practical training on the major thematic areas surrounding CSR today.
