Foreword

Dear fellow-citizens,

Dear colleagues, students, teachers, researchers, and members of the administrative staff,

We welcome you to the website of the Faculty of Economic and Political Sciences of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

Our Faculty is a uniform, comprehensive educational unit, actively engaging in scholarly research and fostering high-quality teaching in social, economic and political sciences.

We are a vibrant, outward-looking Faculty that is strongly committed to contributing to all contemporary issues, local, regional and global. We have close ties with the local community and we favour cooperation with representatives coming from a broad spectrum of the society –production stakeholders, knowledge disseminators, local government officers, and civil society groups.

We are open to students and members of the academic and administrative staff and we welcome interaction and feedback, which allow us to respond timely and effectively to the critical challenges that confront modern communities.

We welcome the opportunity to provide you with the most current and up-to-date information about the educational programmes, the research projects and the social activities of our Faculty. For further information about the operation and the specific activities of the Faculty’s Schools, please visit the relevant websites.

We wish you a pleasant navigation, hoping for a mutual and on-going communication.
