Synopsis
Following the first phase of the competition, which takes place in various places around Greece, its final round is organized by the University of Patras. Out of hundreds of participating high school students, the best ones–approximately 20 students–qualify in this final round. The top two students will represent Greece in the International Philosophy Olympiad that takes place later in a different country every year. CHS Greece has played an important role in the establishment of the contest since 2012 and continues to support it every year, offering, among others, book prizes to the winners and one scholarship for participation in the CHS Harvard High School Summer Program.
