For every large organization, and even more so for a Higher Education Institution that has been operating continuously since 1837, Academic Ethics, above and before all else, is the essence of daily practice and is not merely exhausted in formalities and regulations.
These are the strong bonds that unite the members of our university community and constitute the «Universitas.» These bonds are based on freedom of speech and the exchange of ideas, respect for the Other, human dignity, the principle of the majority, and respect for the minority. These unbreakable principles, together with all fundamental human rights, form the framework within which the policy of Academic Ethics must develop and operate. At the University of Athens, the primary concern of the Rector's Authorities is the faithful adherence to these timeless values. From these unbreakable values arise the Rules of Ethics, which the members of the academic community respect and follow, so that they constitute a self-evident daily practice for all.
According to Article 217 of Law 4957/2022, at the University of Athens was established the NKUA Ethics Committee, which is composed of the Deans of the Schools and is chaired by the Vice-Rector of Administrative Affairs, Student Welfare and Lifelong Learning.
Communication with the Commission takes place via Confidential Protocol of the Administrative Directorate (6 Christou Lada, 10679, Athens, 8who floor, office 81).
