About

The Piraeus Economics Research Seminars (PERS) bring together distinguished researchers and members of the Department (faculty and PhD candidates) to present and discuss their ongoing research. The aim is to foster the exchange of ideas, promote vibrant academic dialogue, strengthen connections with international research networks, and cultivate a dynamic research culture that enriches both teaching and research output. The seminars are held once a month in hybrid format (on campus and via TEAMS).
