Hello again from Deon Policy Institute,
These past few months have contained many exciting new developments for Deon, with our first published report, implemented policy recommendations, more interesting articles and new team members!
We are also delighted to share with all of you our first published report: Three Ways to Reverse Academic Brain Drain in Greece, which includes Deon’s recommendation to introduce visiting professors in Greek universities.
On the policy front, we are thrilled that the Ministry of Migration announced that it is planning to introduce a Talent Visa – a proposal that Deon developed jointly with Endeavor Greece. Founding Deon member, Petros Persilis explains in Kathimerini, why Greece needs such a visa and its potential impact on the Greek economy.
In the education sector, Deon’s recommendation to expand the rights of Joint Chairs in Greece was included in the latest education law (5094/2024). You can read more about an example of Joint Chairs programs, the European Research Area (ERA) Chair program, in this recent Kathimerini article, where Deon co-founders Georgios Laskaris and Afroditi Xydi were quoted.
As we hope to scale our impact, we have brought on board new team members to help us! Renowned political scientist William Antholis is our newest board member. Louisa Tavlas, Errika Papadopoulou, Hara Moraitaki, and Konstantinos Maliaris have all joined our executive team to support day-to-day operations.
Finally –and most importantly– we want to thank you for your continued interest and support in our crucial work. With our expanding digital footprint and ever-growing team of talented professionals who are deeply devoted to Deon’s cause, we are excited to see what the next few months –and years!– will hold. We hope you will continue alongside us on this enriching journey.
-Deon Policy Institute team
