GACUK 40 Years at Cyprus House

Date: Wednesday, 2 December 2026
Venue: Cyprus House, St James’s, London

The Greek Archaeological Committee UK (GACUK) celebrates 40 years since it was founded in 1986.

Over four decades its scholarships have supported more than 80 young archaeologists from Greece and Cyprus to study at UK universities, building strong links between the three countries.

The evening brings together leading names in the field, including Professor Maria Iacovou (University of Cyprus), Professor Irene Lemos (Oxford), Professor Judith Herrin (King’s College London), Professor Catherine Morgan (Oxford), Professor Cyprian Broodbank (Cambridge) and Professor Lucy Blue (Southampton), alongside GACUK alumni and current scholars.

The event is organised with the Cultural Section of the Cyprus High Commission. Doors open at 18:30. Booking is through Eventbrite.
