Swiss School of Archaeology in Greece
- Swiss School of Archaeology in Greece
The Swiss School of Archaeology in Greece (French: "École Suisse d'Archéologie en Grèce (ESAG)"; German: "Schweizer Archäologische Schule in Griechenland"; Italian: "Scuola Elvetica d'Archeologia in Grecia"; Greek: "Ελβετική Αρχαιολογική Σχολή στην Ελλάδα") is one of the 17 foreign archaeological institutes operating in Athens, Greece.
Founded originally as an archaeological "mission" (in 1962), the Swiss School was officially recognised as a foreign institute in 1975. The Swiss School has a close connection with the University of Lausanne. Since the 1960s, it has been involved in a multitude of projects, all of them in and around the ancient city of Eretria (Euboia).
