Former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has described his recent visit to Harvard University as an “extraordinary experience.”
In February, Tsipras was named as a policy fellow at the university’s Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies.
“I had the opportunity to meet and exchange views with very important personalities, notable professors and researchers, as well as anxious, troubled and extremely intelligent students,” the former SYRIZA leader said in a social media post.
“Every meeting, every discussion was an extraordinary experience for me. An opportunity to listen, to learn, to deepen what I know, but also to exchange views with my interlocutors outside of conventional frameworks,” he added.
Tsipras said he had fruitful meetings and discussions with political philosopher Michael Sandel, international relations professor Joseph Nye, European studies professor Peter Hall, sociologist Marshall Ganz, computer scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee, economist Richard Parker, sociologist Stephanie Ternullo, Greek professors Michael Triantafyllou and Petros Koumoutsakos and economist Ricardo Hausmann.
