The Institute of Research and Training on European Affairs was created three years ago by a group of scientists with the purpose to fill the gap created in Greece and Europe among theoretical education, practical education and labor market.

The most important thing for the Institute is to produce work living up to the requirements of this time and the young people.
The Institute will train the young people so as for them to broaden their academic status and to pass from theory to practice.

The Institute and the services provided are addressed to the younger generation. The field of practical training in Greece is static and no expanded at all.
