The Regional Governor of Attica, Giorgos Patoulis pointed out the following:
"We must now start thinking about the day after this unprecedented health crisis, but after we overcome it with the least possible loss of human lives. In this effort, to cover lost ground and soon return to a path of development and substantial recovery of the great economic cost, but also to better prepare against similar future threats to our society, we rely on the significant strengths of our region.
We collaborate with one of the most renowned university institutions in our country, which has great European and international recognition at the same time. The University of Piraeus will give us the valuable knowledge, the appropriate method and the most effective tools to support us or to jointly implement actions that will benefit those who live, are active professionally and in business, or visit our Region."
