In January 2015, ELIAMEP hosted the team members, the post-doctoral researchers and the distinguished members of the advisory board for the second meeting of the Grassrootsmobilise Research Programme, in Athens. The meeting started was preceded by a public lecture on 08/01/2015 on ‘Religion, National Identity and Human Rights’, by the UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief, Heiner Bielefeldt; Nikos Alivizatos, Eva Brems and Malcolm Evans responded to his intervention. Effie Fokas, the Principal Investigator of the Grassrootsmobilise Research Programme chaired the lecture and the discussion. On 9 and 10 January, the programme members met at Electra Hotel to discuss the developments of the Programme and the research conducted thus far and to help prepare the newly-hired postdoctoral researchers for their research in the field.
