Strategic Development Plan

Harokopio University began its historical journey in 1914 with its establishment as the Harokopios School, a bequest of the national benefactor Panagis Harokopos. With the founding of Harokopio University, the “vision for education” of Panagis Harokopos became a reality, fitting within the broader context of educational modernization during the era of Eleftherios Venizelos. The Institution was created, survived, and developed because it possessed prospects, endurance, and adaptability. It was established to serve the vision of modernizing the developing Greek State and ensuring the inclusion of less privileged social groups, such as women.

Today, it continues to effectively serve the goals of inclusion for all and sustainable development, distinguished for its research impact as well as the quality of education provided both in Greece and internationally.

The University has forged its identity inspired by the innovative approach of its Founder, cultivating modern, interdisciplinary fields aimed at sustainable development while ensuring the continuous improvement of human quality of life.

The strategic values of the University for the period 2024–2028 are summarized in the following diagram:
