University Of West Attica - Campus 2

The Eurosun 2020 conference will be held at one of the campuses of the University of West Attica. The University was founded in March 2018 by the National Law 4521. The foundation of the newly established University came from the merging process of the former Technological Educational Institute of Athens and Piraeus University of Applied Sciences. In 2019, the National School of Public Health joined the newly established university.
University of West Attica operates with high educational and research standards and strives to respond to the ever-increasing demands of a modern society for the creation of executives that have attained a solid scientific and technological background. Today, University of West Attica includes twenty-seven departments, organized into six Schools, covering a wide range of disciplines. The School of Public Health, the School of Management, Economics and Social Sciences, the School of Food Sciences, the School of Health and Welfare Sciences, the School of Applied Arts and Culture and the School of Engineering. The Schools’ fields of study cover a wide range of modern science, including social, administrative and economic sciences, engineering sciences, health and welfare sciences, food sciences and art studies.

The conference center is located at the neighborhood of Athens called Eleonas, which means “olive field” in Greek.
Eleonas was filled with olive trees since Antiquity. This tree was considered a gift from goddess Athena to the people of the city. Eleonas produced olive oil of such high quality that it was sold even abroad.
During the Byzantine era, many churches had been built at Eleonas. One of them can be found right at the campus. It is called St. John of the Benizeli and dates back to the 14th century.
Today, numerous factories have completely changed the landscape. Nevertheless, the Eurosun 2020 conference center can be found inside the last forest of olive trees in Eleonas.
