For the first time, an official visit of Greece to China was held to promote the academic programs of our country and to attract Chinese students to Greek universities. The visit was made by Professor Christos Michalakelis, President of Study in Greece (SiG), the national body for the internationalization of universities, together with his colleague Diana Zhong, Head of International Partnerships, who participated in the China Study Abroad Forum (CSAF). In addition, they had an official meeting at the Embassy of the Hellenic Republic in Beijing and academic contacts with leading institutions such as Beijing Language and Culture University and Peking University.

A valuable source of research and academic personnel for Greece could be the community of Greek academics working at foreign universities.

The Ministry of Education, Religions & Sports issued a call of interest on Thursday to Greek public universities for proposals for joint or dual masters programs with educational institutions abroad.
