Elpida Metaxa

University of Athens

Being the oldest University in Greece (founded in 1837 a few years after Greece became an independent State) the National Kapodistrian University of Athens offers valuable educational services in Greece and to Greek citizens the world over. Since its foundation it has always been a university of an "all-embracing" nature as this is described by the concept of "universitas". It has thus developed its educational and research merits under university conditions which were often innovative for our country, providing society with graduates who have global knowledge and who are independent citizens. www.uoa.gr alumni.uoa.gr
