Alexis Tsipras, Greece’s prime minister (2015-2019), who rose to power on an anti-austerity platform during an acute stage of the Eurocrisis, has been appointed as a short-term, resident Policy Fellow of Harvard University’s Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES) and The Center for Hellenic Studies (CHS) during the spring 2025 academic term.
“We are privileged to host Alexis Tsipras, who as prime minister participated in and witnessed some of the most decisive moments in Europe’s 21st-century history,” said Daniel Ziblatt, director of CES and Eaton Professor of the Science of Government at Harvard. “The financial and refugee crises in the first part of this century continue to reverberate in our current moment. Mr. Tsipras’ presence on campus will allow us to learn from his experiences in high-level political negotiations contending with those challenges as well as from his efforts to offer an alternative to austerity and to facilitate the historic Prespa Agreement.”
