Many MGSA members may already have received this notification from the
Greek Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs. We share
the announcement and accompanying attachment with the list. *Please address
all queries directly to the Ministry.*


*FROM: Ms. Sophia Catsambi, Advisor to the Minister of Education and
Religious Affairs, Ms Niki Kerameus  *

On behalf of Ms Niki Kerameus,  Minister of Education and Religious Affairs
of Greece, we are reaching out to you to inform you of an upcoming
collaboration opportunity that might be of interest to you or to your
institution in general. The Greek Ministry of Education and Religious
Affairs is launching a partnership with the Institute for International
Education. This is part of a broader effort to boost the extroversion of
the Greek education system and Greek universities specifically.

The partnership aims at bringing a delegation from selected US institutions
to visit Greece for a week at the end of March to meet Greek rectors and
visit Greek universities. The purpose of the partnership is to establish
contact between US institutions and their Greek counterparts. Furthermore,
we hope that, ultimately, this meeting will result in collaborations
between the institutions, such as joint degrees, summer  programs, study
abroad opportunities or exchanges of students/researchers/faculty, to be
decided upon by the universities themselves.

We are forwarding this information to invite your institution to consider
applying to join this delegation (for which 12 institutions will be
selected), if you think it may be of interest. An informational webinar,
which took place on December 17th, is available online at the following
link, in case you'd like to review it for your information:

You can also find some information about the program, including the link to
apply, at:
https://www.iie.org/en/Programs/International-Academic-Partnership-Program/IAPP-Greece.
Finally, I am attaching a brief presentation that we have put together, in
collaboration with the Rectors of Greek Universities, regarding the
landscape of Greek universities at the moment.

We are incredibly excited about this program and we hope that you will join
this initiative!

Both I and my colleague Olga Gianniadi (cc'd here), are at your disposal if
you have any further questions.

Best regards,


*Sophia Catsambi                                    Olga Gianniadi*
