At the threshold of its first centenary, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki has become inextricably linked with the events and historical milestones of the city and our country. Starting off with minimal staff, students, and afflicted by constant relocations, it evolved today into one of the two largest and most multidisciplinary universities in Greece, with 42 undergraduate programs covering the full spectrum of sciences and arts, more than 200 postgraduate programs, and an academic community of over 90,000 people.
Throughout this journey, the fundamental vision still remains the high quality of its research output and educational outcomes, a vision that grants its recognition and prestige both within Greek society as well as the international academic community. Today, it is at the very epicenter of an ecosystem of education, research, and innovation that serves not only of Northern Greece, but the whole country.
