Our People

Our Contributors

Our contributors are the driving force behind Deon Policy Institute. They are young professionals, academics or graduate students that have expertise in their field, strong bonds with the country and willingness to give back.

Contributors are the lead authors of our policy proposals. They use their expertise, conduct analyses, engage with stakeholders, and draft policy recommendations for the country. They also receive input from Deon Policy Institute advisors as well as other global experts.

Their final policy recommendations are presented to the stakeholders in Greece that would be tasked with their implementation.
