University of the Aegean – Department of Pre-school Education and Educational Design

(Re) founded in 1984, the UAegean aims to introduce new approaches in tertiary education and promote regional development through innovative educational programs and interdisciplinary fields of study and research. The decision to develop in more than one University Units is based on firm strategic and geopolitical criteria. The twofold aim of UAegean, i.e. focusing on academic excellence and development and unifying the geographically fragmented and culturally diverse Aegean area, with respect to its particular features, has been accomplished through the effective organisation and interconnection of academic and administrative units and the standardization of required procedures via the use of ICTs and the multifarious connection and mutual support to local communities and their agencies.
