As part of its major Laconia Initiative, SNF is supporting a number of major projects in and around Sparta, including upgrading and expanding the city’s museum offerings, construction of a School of Byzantine Music and Hagiography, and an effort to revive the nearby village of Vamvakou. Additionally, SNF’s major Health Initiative in Greece includes the construction of a new hospital, designed by Renzo Piano, in Sparta.
The SNF Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture at UCLA, a hub for teaching and research in anthropology, archaeology, art history, classics, digital humanities, Greek, history, and philosophy, received a foundational $5 million grant from SNF in 2017 and launched in 2020.
