EDUCATIONAL CONTENT

knowledge and cooperation

The most effective way to adapt to change, to open new ways is through knowledge and cooperation.

SYNERGIES between Society & Universities, Prefectures & Municipalities, synergies in Politics and between Public & Private Sector.

In a world of innovation and specialization, new knowledge creates significant added value. Of course specialization should not block us from facing the whole picture. We need a holistic approach with emphasis in knowledge. Vision, hard work, cooperation and meritocracy are needed in order for Greece to become stronger in 2030 and to leave the years of crisis (2008-2018) behind.
