What is LPF

The Lesvos Policy Forum

Organised by the Theophrastus Research Institute, the Forum brings together policymakers, international institutions, industry leaders, investors and civil society to examine how global geopolitical shifts, economic transformations and systemic crises materialise at the local level.

Positioned at the intersection of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, Lesvos provides a unique environment where global challenges are experienced in real time and where policy is shaped through direct connection with reality.
