Mr Georgios Kladakis


Dr Alexandra Prodromidou

Mr Georgios Kladakis, undergraduate student at the Business Administration and Economics Department (BAED) and Dr Alexandra Prodromidou, a Lecturer in EU and International Politics at BAED and an Associate Fellow of the Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute (SPERI), received a Sheffield Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) fund for 2015 to work on a research project on ‘Re-conceptualising democratic participation and citizenship in post-2010 Greece’.  SURE offers funded research scholarships to The University of Sheffield's undergraduate students to work in partnership with an academic on a specific piece of research. The proposed research will focus on the trends in democratic participation and citizenship which have developed since the beginning of the crisis in Greece by looking at the shaping of the voting behavior of Greek voters during the general elections in May and June 2012, as well as, in January 2015. The results of this research are expected to add to our knowledge of the changing conceptualization of democratic participation and citizenship in Greece post-2010.    

Many students from the International Faculty have received SURE scholarships in the past and have carried out substantial academic research.
