DESCRIPTION:The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) is honored to
host, for the first time in Greece, the 35th General Assembly and the
Rectors' Seminar of ‘UNICA - Network of Universities from the Capitals of
Europe’, from 18 to 20 June 2025. The event will bring together
university leaders from across Europe in a creative dialogue and strategic
collaboration on the future of higher education.
‘It is a great pleasure and distinct honor to welcome to Athens our
colleagues from the Universities from the Capitals of Europe’, said
Professor Gerasimos Siasos, the Rector of the National and Kapodistrian
University of Athens. ‘This event strengthens the ties within the UNICA
Network and reflects our commitment to international dialogue,
interdisciplinary cooperation and the promotion of humanistic values in
higher education.’
The Network of Universities from the Capitals of Europe - UNICA
(http://www.unica-network.eu) was created in 1990 as a result of an
initiative by a group of European Universities, including the National and
Kapodistrian University of Athens, which are the Founding Members of the
Network. NKUA is the only Higher Education Institution in Greece that
participates in this network. The UNICA network is also a member of other
organizations such as the European University Association (EUA), Scholars
at Risk Network (SAR), Erasmus Student Network (ESN), among others. It
participates both as a coordinator and as a partner in numerous European
programs. 
The network's objectives include strengthening cooperation between member
universities, ensuring the quality of academic, research and administrative
work, developing joint curricula and encouraging the participation of
network members in European programmes. University representatives at
regular meetings of the Network formulate common strategies for the
internationalisation of studies and the encouragement of mobility of
University members, the promotion of education and the advancement of
research, the further development of Universities and their connection with
society.
The 35th General Assembly of the network will place particular emphasis on
the development of common strategies for the future of European higher
education. The theme of this year's Rectors' Seminar, on ‘The Key Role of
the Humanities in our Universities’, addresses a timely issue, the
enduring importance of the humanities in education, research, and societal
advancement. It aims at highlighting practices to strengthen the presence
of the humanities in higher education by showing their catalytic
contribution to the quality of higher education, and the necessity of their
presence in the Science and Technology curricula.
