Greek Heritage in European Culture and Identity

Across centuries, Greek heritage has been a guiding light for Europe — shaping its art, philosophy, language, and collective soul.
A recent conference hosted by the Digital Heritage Lab explored this timeless connection through the project GrECI (Greek Heritage in European Culture and Identity), bringing together researchers and cultural institutions from across the continent.

Through vivid discussions, the participants examined how ancient Greek thought, literature, and aesthetics have inspired generations of European creators and thinkers. From manuscripts and language to art and architecture, the echoes of Greece continue to breathe life into Europe’s cultural landscape.

For all of us who live and create within this heritage, such initiatives remind us that identity is not something we inherit — it’s something we keep alive through knowledge, collaboration, and love for what connects us.
