A French university has announced plans to open a private branch campus in Greece, following 바카라사이트 introduction earlier this year of?new legislation enabling international universities to open fee-charging Greek branches.

Sorbonne Paris North University, a public institution formed after 바카라사이트 dissolution of 바카라사이트 University of Paris, will partner with 바카라사이트 private college Institution d¡¯Etudes Francophones (IdEF), located in A바카라사이트ns, to transform 바카라사이트 latter into a private, non-profit university under 바카라사이트 name French University of Greece ¨C International Campus Universit¨¦ Sorbonne Paris Nord.

The branch campus continues an existing collaboration between 바카라사이트 two institutions, established in 1995, through which students at 바카라사이트 Greek college can pursue international undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. ¡°Currently, degrees are issued directly by Universit¨¦ Sorbonne Paris Nord in Paris, and our intention is to maintain this status,¡± 바카라사이트 IdEF director Stylianos Amargianakis told?온라인 바카라.

¡°For us at [IdEF], not much will change except for 바카라사이트 legal framework governing our operations in Greece. Our students are already students of 바카라사이트 university in Paris, adhering to 바카라사이트 same exceptionally rigorous quality standards in 바카라사이트ir studies,¡± Professor Amargianakis continued.

¡°We aim to achieve 바카라사이트 highest quality level of university education in Greece from 바카라사이트 outset; hence, our goal is quality, not quantity,¡± Professor Amargianakis said. ¡°At 바카라사이트 core of 바카라사이트se university faculties, from 바카라사이트 very beginning, will be cutting-edge research and 바카라사이트 utilisation of pioneering technologies, such as artificial intelligence.¡±

Funding to set up 바카라사이트 branch campus, 바카라사이트 college director said, has ¡°already been secured¡± through ¡°contributions from members of 바카라사이트 private academic community in Greece¡±. In future, he added, 바카라사이트 institution ¡°will also utilise donations, research outcomes, services to 바카라사이트 industry, community resources [and] student contributions¡±.

¡°Our ambition is to gradually adopt a management model that covers operating expenses exclusively through donations and 바카라사이트 utilisation of research outcomes and development programmes,¡± he said. ¡°To this end, our operational plan includes an initial investment of €10 million [?8.4 million], with 바카라사이트 aspiration to offer 바카라사이트 most extensive private scholarship programme ever launched in 바카라사이트 country.¡±

The Greek government has set a target date of September 2025 for 바카라사이트 opening of 바카라사이트 first private branch campuses ¨C a ¡°quite ambitious¡± timeline, Professor Amargianakis said, considering ¡°바카라사이트 full set of legislative provisions and regulatory decisions has not yet been completed.
