Harokopio University

Harokopio University was the 18th state University established in Greece. Founded under the article 9 of Law1894/90, as amended by article 17 of Law 1966/91, on the initiative of Professor George Karabatzos (+2011). Harokopio University was named after the national benefactor Panagis Harokopos, who envisioned an educational institution with excellent building facilities and equipment, in harmony with the natural environment, which could offer contemporary science. So the opportunity was given both to Panagis Harokopos and Evanthia Harokopou – Petrutsi to fully exploit their assets according to their wishes. The design and overall development of the University has been based on international standards and on scientific research, commissioned by the Institute of Regional Development of Panteion University, ordered by the Minister of Education of that period. The existing building infrastructure was completely renovated in 1993-1994 and was supplemented by the construction of a new building in 1999-2000. During 2011 a new building will be completed in the area of Tavros on land purchased in 2004. Harokopio awards bachelor's, master's, as well as Ph.D. degrees.
