The initiative seeks to forge long-lasting partnerships through joint study programs, degrees, research activities and publications, Education Minister Niki Kerameus explains. “The first signs are extremely encouraging,” she adds.
“More than half of the American universities taking part in the visit have already bolstered their existing partnerships, signed new ones or embarked on serious discussions with potential Greek partners,” confirms Goodman.
What’s more, an American expert has been commissioned to advise regional Greek universities on how they can tap into the international education market, according to US Ambassador to Greece George Tsunis. “Education is an intrinsic part of the US-Greece dialogue,” he tells Kathimerini, underscoring the Biden Administration’s commitment to deepening ties in this area.
