Through its establishment ELIAMEP sought to upgrade its research on traditional foreign policy issues, such as the European integration, Greek-Turkish relations, developments in the Middle East and the Balkans or transatlantic relation. At the same time, this new post furthered ELIAMEP’s efforts to create a supportive environment for the development of Greece’s research potential.
