• The course is organised along a basic one-day curriculum and several half-day, elective “deep dives” in specific areas of governance. The basic course will be offered 4 times over the period of a year starting in April 2021.

• The basic course focuses on all key elements of corporate governance: the role of the board in setting the purpose of the company and developing a sustainability culture, board governance responsibilities and effectiveness, board composition and the role of committees. Participants will be reviewing the Greek and EU legal and regulatory framework, investor expectations and corporate best practice. The basic course in January will be held in Greek.
