In collaboration with the Undergraduate Studies Programme, the MA supports the development of the Department’s website, which provides useful information on the aims and operation of the Department, as well as on both the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes of the Department of Theatre Studies.

European research network

The MA Programme participates in the European Network of Research and Documentation of Ancient Greek Drama Performances, expanding its connection with international research activity.

Publicity and Academic Visibility

Series of lectures

As part of its lecture series, talks are delivered by Greek and foreign collaborators of the MA Programme, enriching the academic dialogue of the Department.

Conferences and seminars

The programme organises conferences and seminars with the active participation of postgraduate students, giving them the opportunity to present and promote the research carried out during their studies and to contribute to wider theatre scholarship.

Publications

Publishing activity is presented as a visible contribution of the postgraduate programme to the wider field of theatre research.

Scientific bulletin

The contribution of the postgraduate studies programme to the scientific bulletin of the Department of Theatre Studies, Paravasis, is especially emphasised. The journal includes recent findings in theatre research and reviews of books from international literature.

International orientation

The publication includes summaries in English and aims to create a platform for the exchange of ideas among scholars from different fields and from different European countries, with a focus on modern Greek theatre.

Paravasis

Paravasis is described as a periodical of the Department of Theatre Studies of the University of Athens, created to address the need for a purely scientific journal in theatre research, especially modern Greek theatre. It publishes research by Department staff and postgraduate-level work, while also remaining open to collaborations from university and non-university contexts in Greece and abroad. From volume 11 onward it is published in digital form.
