National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
The conference will be held at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), Greece’s oldest and most prestigious public university, founded in 1837. Located in the historic centre of Athens, the University plays a central role in the country’s academic and cultural life, bringing together a long tradition of education, research, and public engagement.
The conference sessions will take place in the University’s iconic Central Building “Propylaea” (Address: Panepistimiou 30, 106 79, Athens), one of the most emblematic neoclassical landmarks of Athens and part of the famous “Athenian Trilogy,” alongside the Academy of Athens and the National Library. Designed by the Danish architect Christian Hansen in the 19th century, the building is closely linked to the development of modern Greek higher education and remains the symbolic heart of the University. Its monumental architecture and historic significance make it one of the most recognisable academic buildings in Greece.
Situated in a vibrant central location near major cultural and archaeological sites, the venue offers an inspiring environment where history and contemporary academic life meet. The surrounding area combines easy accessibility with a rich urban landscape, making it an ideal setting for an international scientific conference.
