Higher Technological Education's role is to contribute to the
development process in the country and progress of science and
applied research
The training is geared to assimilation and transfer of scientific data in
production
Studies at Technical Colleges compared with those at the universities
have more applied nature. In Greece there are 15 Colleges, which
consist of two (2) at least Faculties, which contain two or more
Sections
TEIs operating in various cities of the country, while some also have
independent branches, ie independent departments in another city
Thank you for your patience!14
