The Ionian University is a regional university institution which is the second multi-island institution in the country,  with a total of 12 departments at the moment are based in 4 islands and 5 cities, which is a problem and a challenge in the positive sense, he said.

According to him, this is a very strong research venue which came to be further strengthened with the establishment of the university research center of our institution, which currently has 4 institutes.

“Our goal is to help the Ionian Islands region to develop in areas beyond tourism. “It is no coincidence that together with the region we participated in a program which resulted in the creation of a film office for the Ionian Islands,” he said.
