Current Situation in Greece

Every year, over 42,000 undergraduate courses and several thousands postgraduate courses are taught in the 488 existent academic departments. The instruction includes educational material such as notes, presentations, lectures, educational software, and online exercises. However, until now, in most cases, the educational material remains unavailable or it is not easily accessible in digital form from a single point of view. This material is also limited to be provided only in the narrow context of each academic audience, without being spread to the society.
