What is ATHENS Week?

Twice a year, in March and November, the ATHENS Network organizes intensive one-week courses hosted by its member institutions. During an ATHENS Week, thousands of students have the opportunity to:

  • Attend a specialized academic course in science, engineering, or technology at a partner university.
  • Experience a different academic environment.
  • Take part in their first study abroad experience, which often sparks further international mobility.

European Dimension Activities (EDA)

Beyond academics, each host university designs a programme of European Dimension Activities (EDA). These activities introduce students to the local culture and social life of the host city and country. Often organized in cooperation with student associations, they provide a unique chance to:

  • Meet peers from across Europe.
  • Discover the local heritage.
  • Share an enriching intercultural experience.
