Haku on auki 30.4. klo 23:59 asti!Suomen Ateenan-instituutti järjestää 16.9.‒20.10.2024 ensisijaisesti perus- ja aineopintoja suorittaville opiskelijoille tarkoitetun johdantokurssin Kreikan tutkimukseen ja itäisen Välimeren historiaan ja nykypäivään. Monitieteinen kurssi on tarkoitettu esimerkiksi arkeologian, historian, klassillisen filologian, arkkitehtuurin, filosofian ja taiteentutkimuksen opiskelijoille.Kurssin aikana tutustutaan laajasti antiikin aineelliseen kulttuuriin, kreikkalaiseen aate- ja kulttuurihistoriaan sekä antiikintutkimuksen lähteisiin ja metodeihin. Opetus tapahtuu pääasiallisesti arkeologisilla alueilla ja museoissa eri puolilla Kreikkaa. Kurssiohjelmaan kuuluu myös asiantuntijaluentoja. Jokainen kurssille hyväksytty opiskelija kirjoittaa kurssipäiväkirjan tai muun kirjallisen työn ja pitää kurssilla 2 kohde-esittelyä tai alustusta. Kurssin lopuksi järjestetään myös kirjallinen koe.

Finnish Institute at Athens – Ateenan-instituutti
On 4 May 2023 the Toxic Crimes Project (Faculty of Law, University of Helsinki), the Athens Public International Law Center (Athens PIL) Law School, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and the Finnish Institute at Athens (FIA) organized an international workshop ‘Protection of the Environment in Armed Conflicts’ to discuss the legal, historical and practical aspects of environmental protection during armed conflicts from ancient to contemporary contexts. The event gathered a group of speakers representing a wide range of different fields of specialization. The keynote speaker was Ambassador Marja Lehto (former UN International Law Commission Special Rapporteur, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Finland). _________________________________________________________________ 0:00 Greetings 13:39 Petra Pakkanen and Antti Lampinen: Environment and armed conflict: A historical inquiry 38:04 Peter Schwartzstein: The conflict-climate-environment nexus: A bitter cycle? 50:23 Marja Lehto: The legal framework of environmental protection in relation to armed conflicts 1:29:42 Freek van der Vet: Presenting the Toxic Crimes project
The Finnish Institute at Athens organized an international workshop ‘Markers of Northernness in Greek Ethnography and Geography’ on 10-11 December 2022. The workshop gathered a range of scholars to present on diverse themes of ancient ethnography and geography, and to discuss the parameters of the Greek perceptions of ‘northernness’ from a variety of perspectives. The programme seeked to delve into the elements that made the North and the northerners stand out as an entity or commonality in the Greek thinking from Homer to Late Antiquity and Byzantium, as well as to bring the different aspects of the septentriographic tradition into a fuller conversation with each other. This recording includes the following lectures: - Antti Lampinen, opening of the workshop - Serena Bianchetti, ‘The Insular North: a Long-Unknown Reality‘ - Gościwit Malinowski, ‘European North Before the Celts and the Scythians‘ The workshop is closely connected to the institute’s long-standing and ongoing research interest in the interactions between Nordic regions and the Mediterranean, as well as the Assistant Director Antti Lampinen’s own current research project on ancient ethnography.
