Since the decate of 80’s a few teaching subjects related to the management and protection of the enviroment are included in the Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes of the:
• Law School• Medical School,• Pharmacology, • Depatment of Chemistry,• Department of Biology,• Department of Physics ,• Department of Geology and others
Since the beginning of the new century 21 several Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes in the Athens University were
re-formulated, in the frame of the EPEAEK II Project (Co-funded by
EU
(75%) and National Resource):
