The Michelis Fellowship

The Panayotis & Effie Michelis Foundation has endowed the Michelis Fellowship for Aesthetics at the Department of Philosophy and Social Studies of the University of Crete at Rethymnon since 1998.

The endowment of a fellowship for Aesthetics – named after the eminent theoretician and philosopher Panayotis Michelis – by a private entity is unprecedented in Greek academia.

In 2005, to honour the memory of Panayotis and Effie Michelis, the Department of Philosophy and Social Studies of the University of Crete organised a symposium on Aesthetics and Art: Interdisciplinary Approaches, during which the renovated Michelis Hall was inaugurated, which serves as the department assembly room.
