Courses

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. Around 60 courses are offered at each ATHENS session, covering a wide range of thematic, from engineering to social sciences. The aim is to give students a brief immersion in another European education system.

Cultural Activities

European Dimension Activities are organized to complement the course. The purpose is to permit ATHENS students to better know the course organizing institution,  as well as the European city where the course is held. Of special importance is the opportunity to mix with students of different nationalities and backgrounds during these activities.

Cultural activities are an integral part of an ATHENS session and participation is compulsory.

Travel

Travel costs, by bus, train or flight from one institution to another vary tremendously.

Housing

At most institutions, housing is the responsibility of the student. Those that are able to offer university accommodation will inform students of this once they have been accepted into the programme.
