Eugenides Foundation: a pillar of technical and scientific education in Greece
The Eugenides Foundation was founded in 1954 by the great national benefactor Eugenios Eugenides, whose sole purpose was to contribute to the education of young Greek citizens in the scientific and technical field. Its establishment took place on February 10, 1956 with Commander-Administrator Eugenios Eugenides’s sister, Marianthi Simou. Thanks to Eugenios Eugenidis and the successors of his work, the Eugenides Foundation from its foundation until today operates, maintains, expands and modernizes solely based on its own resources.
Its activities and resources include: scholarships for postgraduate studies in Greece and abroad, donations and publications for technical, professional and maritime education, up-to-date technical and scientific library, the New Digital Planetarium, one of the largest and best equipped planetariums in the world, the Science and Technology Center, an exemplar space for getting acquainted, engaging and experimenting with science and technology for young and old, the UTech Lab Technology Lab, a creative workshop for young people, focused on modern technology, a High Quality Conference Center, as well as international collaborations, participation in European programs, etc.
The foundation is a unique pillar of technical education in Greece, which continues for years, silently and with emphasis on the real offer, to fulfill its purpose. For this timeless and selfless contribution the Foundation has won numerous awards (Gold Medal of the Academy of Athens, an award from the Academy of Athens for the model operation of the Eugenides Planetarium, Lloyd’s List “Achievement in education and training” – Greek Shipping Awards 2016 and many more).
