Find out more about what is happening here at the CSPS.

Since 2006, the Centre has run an annual series of research seminars and annual lectures. These are delivered by distinguished scholars and young academics researching the history and archaeology of Sparta and the Peloponnese.

The Centre has also organised or hosted a number of international conferences and symposia. These run in both the UK and Greece, in collaboration with other universities, associations and local governmental agencies.

Our PG students also organise a dedicated series of PG and Early Career International Conferences.

Recent outreach events

Children’s Workshops: Ancient Greece - The Spartans

Were the Spartans all fierce warriors? 

Or more like you and I?

School students find out more about this ancient civilisation with our experts on ancient Greece. They take part in practical activities exploring the lives of Spartans. They discuss stories about Sparta’s military training, cult practices and everyday life activities to decide whether the reputation of Spartans are mere ‘war machines’ is to be believed. 

CSPS works closely with colleagues from the University of Nottingham's Widening Participation and Outreach team and IntoUniversity to deliver the Nottingham-based activities. 

If your school is interested in getting involved in our projects, email Dr Chrysanthi Gallou
