University of Crete
The origins of the University of Crete are international. Following its official foundation, it was shaped by established scholars and scientists of Greek origin who held professorial positions in HEIs in the USA and Europe and who in turn attracted promising young researchers from the Greek Diaspora to join the endeavors of creating a modern, research-led higher educational institution in Crete. This international orientation continues to characterize the University’s faculty as well as educational programs and research at all levels.
