I'm signing this petition, as I have used it several times during research visits to Athens. It is a wonderful and supportive place for scholars and student, who want to study the cradle of democratic thought, classical architecture and early Christianity. /Casper

Norwegian researchers based in Athens have in the past years contributed largely to our understanding of the past and present. It would be a shame to lose their contributions!

Norwegian ignorance is no excuse for not providing future generations the possibility of getting an education providing insight into our European common history, culture and language.

The institute is instrumental in Norwegian and Scandinavian research into European and world history. The loss of a Norwegean institute would not only close the book on a long history of Norwegian research (an institute is required by Greek law in order for Norwegians to acquire excavation permits, and and though it is possible to work through other countries' institutes, the slots available are very limited and usually people are in line to use the available slots). The closure of the institute would also close the book aon a long history of education, for Norwegian and Scandinavian students. Without hte Norwegian Institute at Athens, Norway and Norwegian resaerch would severely limit the possibilities the future generations of scholars have in getting the experince and education required to make it in a very competitive field.

I am signing because I have played a small part at the Norwegian Institute for too many years just to turn my back on it at a time of crisis. I have seen what the NIA offers Norwegian students and scholars.

As a MA in Greek Language and Literature, I have benefited greatly from the presence of Nordic Institutes in Athens by being able to study ancient and modern culture of Greece. Cultural awareness should be held in great esteem.

As a Classical archaeologist who works in Greece, I’ve for many years appreciated and relied on the contributions of the Norwegian Institute to scholarly research and international cooperation. It’s a crucial institution for Classical scholarship.

The Norwegian Institute provides an invaluable service to students and researchers seeking to discover, interpret, and preserve history. In a world that constantly eschews history for personal or political gain, the need for scholarly pursuits must grow to counteract. Please, help promote historical research, free and independent thought, by keeping the Norwegian Institute funded.

Jeg vil støtte det norske instituttet i Athen fordi det er viktig å ha sånt samarbeid mellom utdanningsinstitusjonene og både Norge og Hellas vinner på dette. La studentene ha mulighet til studieutveksling og fremtidige forskere ha mulighet til å jobbe sammen!:)

I hold a PhD in classics and worked with students from the Norwegian institute while in Athens at the American School of ClassicL Studies. I cannot imagine the closure of such an important and established institution- please don’t undervalue its role.
