Overview

The Eugenides Foundation was established in 1956 as a non-profitmaking legal entity in private law. Its purpose was to implement the wishes expressed in the last testament of the late Eugenios Eugenides, a benefactor of the Greek nation. Registered and based in Athens, its founding charter states that its objective is to contribute to the education of young Greeks in science and technology. The Foundation is administered by a board of three members, one of whom is always the serving Chancellor of the National Technical University of Athens. In recognition of its multi-faceted contribution to Greek society the Foundation was awarded the Gold Medal of the Athens Academy in December 1965.

Meeting & Events

The Eugenides Foundation has been serving the cause of scientific and technical education for more than fifty years now, and looks forward to a future with fully renovated and renewed facilities, having created at the Faliro Delta a multi-venue educational centre designed to the highest specifications. Just a few minutes from the centre of Athens, the visitor will find state-of the- art conference facilities within a remarkable environment distinguished by the elegance and simplicity of its architectural style. The buildings and technological infrastructure are complemented by comprehensive conference services, guaranteeing the success of any event.

Congress Halls

Auditorium (Main Hall)

The Foundation’s fully renovated Auditorium can seat 400 persons. With a surface area of 300 square meters it is a distinctive and prestigious venue, ideal for conferences, presentations and official functions requiring seating arranged in amphitheater layout. Both stalls, entered from the first floor, and circle, entered from the second floor, are guaranteed to impress the visitor.
The Auditorium has an elevated, permanent stage, with panel seating for 11 persons and a podium. There are four fully equipped interpreting booths and state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment.

Meeting Room (Parallel 2)

The Eugenides Foundation has one independent conference room on the first floor.
This meeting room, accommodating up to 40 persons, is square in shape, with wooden floors, and well suited to a variety of uses (workshops, board meetings, seminars, etc.). Like all the conference facilities of the Foundation, the meeting room is equipped with state-of-the-art installations, technical resources and services.

1st Floor Peristyle (Exhibition & Poster Area)

A remarkably attractive feature of the building, the 1st floor peristyle (surface area 440 m²) formed part of the old Eugenides Planetarium. The centre of the area is dominated by a valuable exhibit: the Universal Projector, manufactured by Zeiss, formerly used to project the shows of the first planetarium in Greece.
The peristyle can accommodate 250 people at a sit-down dinner and 400 people for cocktails. It can be used independently, or in conjunction with the adjoining amphitheatre.
