Institute for Hellenic Growth & Prosperity
Impact economic and social change in Greece
To pursue its mission of fostering Greece’s economic growth, the Institute for Hellenic Growth and Prosperity (IHGP) houses Centers of Excellence in the areas of Food, Tourism & Leisure; Logistics, Shipping & Transportation; and Sustainability; as well as the Research, Technology & Innovation Network (RTIN). These units target specific areas of the Greek economy while promoting research and innovation within a framework for sustainable growth.
The IHGP seeks to sponsor research as well as scholarly and public discussions designed to promote the adoption of innovative and best international practice solutions to Greece’s economic challenges through such means as traditional publications, media productions (including social media), a website featuring archived publications and media productions, and conferences/seminars/symposia (real and virtual/electronic) that seek to bring public officials, academics (faculty and students), and business leaders together to address specific economic issues facing Greece and the world today.

Working Paper Series
ACG 150 Working Paper Series are circulated for discussion and comment purposes. They have not been peer-reviewed and are not official ACG publications. Short sections of text may be quoted provided that full credit is given to the source.
Eudaimonia Initiative
The Eudaimonia Initiative links the two new interdisciplinary institutes created by the ACG 150 strategic plan—the IHGP and the Institute for Hellenic Culture and the Liberal Arts (IHCLA)—with ACG’s Institute of Public Health, which has an established record of reducing smoking in Greece substantially since 2015.
The three institutes will cooperate in a series of efforts to promote eudaimonia—or “human flourishing”—in Greece. In a related effort, on April 6, 2021, the IHGP hosted a symposium on “Public Health, the Greek Economy and Political Liberty: Balance, Priorities and Policies in the Age of Pandemics,” which featured the participation of leading figures from the private sector, health experts and policymakers.
