The ATHENS Network is made up of 15 leading European technological universities. The Network organises intensive short-duration courses at each member institution. The programme includes a compulsory cultural weekend, before the beginning of the courses. The courses take place twice a year, in March and November.

The ATHENS week permits participants from different institutions to take short courses of a high scientific level and to mix with students of different nationalities and backgrounds. About 60 courses are offered at each ATHENS Session and cover a wide range of thematic, from engineering to social sciences. The objective is to give students a brief immersion in another European education system.
