The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens took part in the 111th Hellenic Universities Rectors’ Conference, hosted by the University of Piraeus.
At the conference, the Rector, Professor Gerasimos Siasos, joined by the Vice-Rectors and the Executive Director, underscored the urgent need to strengthen university funding through the National Development Plan. Increased investment is essential to ensure the proper maintenance and modernisation of academic and research infrastructure—particularly at large institutions with historic buildings, many of which are over a century old and in need of immediate attention.
They also stressed the importance of introducing targeted amendments to the legal framework, as proposed by the universities, in order to address issues that have emerged under the new system for the appointment and promotion of faculty members.
