SNF Nostos 2026 in numbers and highlights

SNF Nostos 2026
Schedule
Explore, see what sparks your interest, and craft your own SNF Nostos experience.
Introducing The Houses
SNF Nostos Conference 2026 will feature four themed hubs, what we’re calling “Houses". Here, you’ll find a variety of offerings including talks and discussions that give our grantee-partners the microphone.
The House of Civics & Education will be the go-to place for topics like lifelong learning and personal growth, mentorship, active citizenship and civic engagement, welcoming and useful public spaces, and other key components of civic life.
In Greece, SNF’s homeland, the saying goes, “Health comes first” a principle that has also become a guiding light for SNF. It’s only natural, then, that we turn the spotlight to some of the main grantee-partners we’ve worked with over the years in the area of Health & Sports. Go inside the world of a virus, get a glimpse of the health innovations of tomorrow, and more!
Is art a luxury or a necessity? Its power to help us appreciate our shared humanity gives us our answer. After 30 years of working and collaborating in arts and culture, we’ve seen the challenges the sector faces and the opportunities it presents for connection, illumination, and transformation.
What does the future hold for us and for the world of philanthropy? As technology evolves and global challenges grow more complex, how can generosity, empathy, and collective action shape what’s next? Join us as we explore these and many more related questions. See you in the (near) future!
The Core of the Conference
On the final day of the Conference, what we’re calling the Core of the Conference, we invite you to join us in the Stavros Niarchos Hall—your house, ever since SNF gave the SNFCC to the public in 2017—for a series of SNF-led signature plenary sessions including the SNF Dialogues. Come curious and dive with us into big ideas about humanity and what really makes us human.
Participants
They come from all corners of the world and from a wide range of fields. They come to share perspectives rooted in their expertise, to act for the greater good as they act on camera, to play hit songs known the world over. All of them are here for one reason: to open our eyes, and perk up our ears, and expand our horizons
That’s all well and good, but where’s the party?
Just before the end of SNF Nostos 2026, the SNFCC Agora transforms into an endless dance floor filled with house, techno, and electronic music thanks to the top-notch lineup at the Up Late Party: The Blessed Madonna, Octave One, Xenia Ghali, ATÉ, and SIOMA. And the best part? It’s all free.
(Yes, you read that right.)
Up late party
Come as you are to the Up Late Party and lose yourself in the sounds of house and techno.
Release Athens x SNF Nostos 2026
In 2026, we’re reupping our collaboration with Release Athens that was so successful at the previous SNF Nostos. It’s a landmark year for us—we’re celebrating 30 years of grantmaking, as you probably know by now and Release Athens Festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
SNF Nostos Run
Past SNF Nostos Runners, you know the drill: with the sunset as your backdrop, you’ll traverse the heart of Athens to finish in the exuberant embrace of SNF Nostos. On June 23, lace up your running shoes and get moving for a good cause at the much-loved SNF Nostos Run.
