PITHOS (Princeton-Ioannina-Thessaly On-Site Seminars) is a collaboration of faculty at Princeton University, the University of Ioannina, and the University of Thessaly that aims to foster intellectual collaboration and exchange among scholars of ancient Greek art and archaeology. Every academic year, three graduate students are selected from each participating university to engage in faculty-led seminars, workshops, and trips in the United States and Greece organized around a yearly theme. The theme for 2026 is “Transitions and Turning Points in the Greek World: The Material Evidence."
Doctoral students from Princeton, Ioannina, and Thessaly may submit an application by January 30, 2026. The on-site seminars for the selected students will take place from May 18-22 (Ioannina) and September 21-25 (Princeton). Students are expected to participate in both seminars. Airfare and lodging will be covered for participants. For more information, see “How to Apply.”
