Within the context of the European University CIVIS educational actions, ten academics from the alliance’s member Universities co-organize the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) ‘Climate and Energy – An Interdisciplinary Perspective,’ which provides free online education, focusing on the interdisciplinary field of environment and energy.

However, undergraduate students of any discipline, who want to broaden their perspective and knowledge of climate and energy outside their chosen field of study, may find the Course particularly interesting. This Course is also a taster for an upcoming CIVIS Postgraduate Programme on climate and energy!

University of Athens

The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, which was inaugurated on May 3, 1837, was initially housed in a renovated Ottoman building on the northeastern side of the Acropolis. This building has since been restored and now functions as the University Museum. Originally named the "Othonian University," after Otto, the first king of Greece, it consisted of four academic departments and 52 students. As the first university of the newly established Greek state, as well as of the broader Balkan and Mediterranean region, it assumed an important socio-historical role, which was pivotal in the development of specific forms of knowledge and culture within the country.
