Stavros Vlizos

I graduated from the University of Ioannina (1989) and received my Ph.D in Classical Archaeology from the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich (1999) with a dissertation on the reception of late classical and Hellenistic cult statues. After my appointment as adjunct archaeologist at the Greek Ministry of Culture, I was Researcher and Assistant to the Director at the Benaki Museum between 2002 and 2013 and from 2014 I moved to the Ionian University in Corfu where I teach, as Associate Professor, a range of courses in cultural heritage management, with a focus on archaeology. My research concerns also topics on Roman sculpture and Roman Greece, and the importance of Greek sanctuaries, as well as managing archaeological sites, public archaeology and cultural heritage. I am the Director of the “Amykles Research Project” and the Director of the Ionian University Museum. I am a member of the Athens Archaeological Society, the German Archaeological Institute, the scientific committee of the Athens “Roman Seminar” and of the ICOM.
