The network of cooperation

The network created by the “Egeria” project consists primarily of the institutions that participate in the project as partners. The network was consolidated by the participation of the project partners in the “Egeria” Steering Committee meetings as well as in the rest of the project’s activities and products. In fact, however, the network initiated by “Egeria” is much larger, since it potentially includes all the individuals that participated in the activities of the project (educational missions, workshops, seminars and international symposium). The programs of these activities offer a glimpse at most of the participants in them and, thus, of the wider network of collaboration that “Egeria” has promoted greatly.

The list presented below includes only the partners of the program, that is, the heads of the participating institutions, the project managers and the staff (in alphabetical order) that have worked zealously for the implementation of the project throughout its duration.
