Venue: Malaysia Auditorium, Centre Building, LSE, Holborn, London
The LSE Hellenic Observatory hosts an evening discussion on how Greece and Cyprus have spent recent European recovery money on transport, with Christos Dimas, Evie Tsolaki and Dimitris Sourvanos on the panel.
The EU Recovery and Resilience Facility has paid for an unusually large wave of roads, rail and connectivity projects across Europe. With the programme now coming to an end, the panel looks at what it has actually changed in Greece and Cyprus, and what the two countries still need to build.
The two economies are different in size and shape, but they share many of the same problems: networks that need upgrading, islands and regions that need better links, and the question of how to keep growing once the EU funding stops.
The discussion is chaired by Professor Vassilis Monastiriotis. It runs from 6.30pm to 8pm. Check the LSE event page for registration details before you go.
